Business Intelligence – Do you have data? or do you have intelligence?

Business Intelligence is no longer simply a “buzz word” that can be ignored but is now an integral part of your hotel/resort revenue management that must be recognized. Business intelligence is and has been the future of revenue management toolkit. What is business intelligence? According to Wikipedia, it is defined as “the set of techniques and tools for the transformation of raw data into meaningful and useful information for business analysis purposes”.

Datavision’s Business Intelligence System is capable of handling large amounts of unstructured data. Once the data is stored, Datavision will identify, develop and allow you to create new strategic business opportunities based on the reported data.

Datavision allows you to choose the type of reporting you need for your business. In order to be effective in revenue management you must have the tools needed in these rush and hurry, face paced days.

Any meaningful, useful, and useable data,( whether reports are spreadsheets done by hand or provided by a Business Intelligence Systems) not provided in a timely manner has become useless. Revenue management can be done without a Business Intelligence System but it requires a timely amount of manual labor which takes away from the valuable time needed to analyze the information. A Business Intelligence System would access the data in a quick and timely manner, thus allowing the Revenue Manager to have the needed time to analyze, develop and implement strategic plans for growth in occupancy, room and incremental revenues.
