Since 2002 specialized in Business Intelligence (closely working with Microsoft EMEA in Europe and IBM Cognos), our company ( www.aldecis.com ) is a European expert team mainly focused on two niche markets:
- best multidimensional databases
(ram-based M-Olap, with real-time calculation, optimized for decision-making doing simulations, planning and 'what...if' analysis),
- Data Visualization
(building exclusive graphics for our customers, for visual communication in management's briefing books and board's presentations).
BeGraphic
BeGraphic is an easy-to-use data visualization software, made for adding value to your data in annual reports and PowerPoint presentations. We built it because no such solution really existed on Microsoft Office.

Consulting
Because most of the time, our customers don't have
- much time to spend on the all project,
- all competencies to automate the full process,
our consultants globally take in charge their project.
We do have the complete scope of needed knowledge and a full experience of
- choice of the Key Performance Indicators that fit your needs,
- selection of best information graphics / data visualizations,
- building really actionable dashboards (and not just sending information)
- IT support : Data extraction and data warehouse building
- multi-canal information delivery (PowerPoint, Web, Mobile phone...)
- story-boarding the interactive screens and linking each of them to the others
Selecting the most efficient charts / graphics and building a balanced dashboard is a much more rational process than just putting the corporate colours on a new type of chart. Because the best data visualizations highly depend on the user and the context, we always propose several displays.
All our works are based on visualization rules, therefore guaranty the effectiveness of your project.
Training
If our customer decides to make the project by himself, his first goal will be to know the fundamental rules and best practices about the most efficient data visualizations.
We perfectly know how to train users, because this knowledge is the one we share inside our organization. Not only he will learn the rules about charts, graphics and innovative visualizations, but he will receive comments about the most efficient data displays and methodology how to build them.
Our training can help you to structure this decision support project, making each step more solid. For each type of data visualization (corporate communication, operational dashboard, performance reporting, financial briefing book, strategic management review...), we show and explain what to focus in and what tests to apply to check the right choice. We explain all golden rules given by gurus (Jacques Bertin, Edward Tufte, Leland Wilkinson, William Cleveland...), such as
- SMART, KISS... for indicators’ choice
- SUCCESS, IRCASI, story-telling... for data visualization
- Story-board, roles, context... for dashboards
We propose both general trainings and dedicated ones. Please email us ( begraphic@begraphic.com) to get more information.
