Hitachi Consulting UK: Competency Centres

Competency Centres


Having the right information readily available across your organisation is a requirement for doing business efficiently and effectively.  Leading companies understand the need to ‘get serious' about Business Intelligence (BI) as a discipline - to make BI a competitive advantage.

You can build a sustainable capability for delivering enterprise BI and data warehouse solutions with Business Intelligence Competency Centres (BICC).  Together, we examine your strategy, people, processes, organisation, industry and technology, to develop a centralised BI programme that enables you to manage your organisation's BI efforts and skills and reap the fullest rewards from your BI investment.  Our offerings include:

  • BICC Diagnostic
