Lighting up steering or exploring the data

Both programmes handle tables, indicators and visualisations. One puts them at the service of regular steering and of leadership deciding every month. The other puts them at the service of exploration and modelling. Here are the levels, volumes and fees of both.

The same material, two uses

Business intelligence organises the data a company already produces so that leadership can see clearly: warehouse, dimensional model, indicators, dashboards, steering rituals. Its deliverable is a reliable, refreshed and shared view. Data science starts from an open question and goes looking for the answer in the data: experimental design, statistical modelling, machine learning, communication. Its deliverable is a defensible inference.
