MindStream Analytics is leading our nation’s CFOs through uncertain times

In the current economic environment, it is important that businesses find ways to stand out, tighten their operations, and increase their revenues while keeping expenses low. As many companies struggle to stay ahead of the competition, the day-to-day operations of the business are more than enough to keep management busy, especially in smaller companies where owners or managers wear many hats. Choosing to use an experienced consultant may allow businesses the ability to grow, rather than simply attempting to maintain the status quo.

MindStream Analytics is a top consulting firm which prioritizes its goal on helping clients improve business understanding and decision making. With years of experience in the analytics and Corporate Performance Management area, MindStream offers services ranging from software selection and implementation to best practices for financial planning and budgeting.

MindStream offers customers business intelligence and analytic tool selection, predictive modeling development, real-time streaming analytics, Profitability Costing models, and EPM/CPM design and delivery optimization. MindStream guides its customers to solutions that enable better analysis and insight into their data.

“We believe that the power of technology combined with best practices will give customers the ability to make fact-based decisions.”

How does the firm contribute to its customers’ business growth?

MindStream Analytics works with companies of all sizes and industries to acquire, implement, host, and manage strategic finance solutions designed to grow their business by bringing people, processes,

and information together.

Here are some challenges we have helped to resolve:

• Business, Finance, and IT stakeholders are not aligned on the analytical problem, the solution on how to get there, or the business case for making a change
• Business users are challenged to define requirements and bring to life the solution vision and benefits
• There is too little focus on the most critical success factors – internal, external, digital, syndicated, structured, and unstructured data

MindStream can help guide organizations to a solution that enhances business modeling and enables better analysis and insight into their data. We enable the ability for companies to visualize the data that they’ve been collecting for years and provide analytics that allows them to reliably make decisions faster.
