Frequently Asked Questions

How can DMYS help with disconnected software systems and operational inefficiencies stunting growth in my business?

We eliminate manual data entry and automate data capture from these disconnected systems so that you can make better decisions to grow your company.

We help you delay (possibly eliminate) the costly ERP implementation project you’ve been dreading.

What is a "data model"?

A data model (aka "semantic model") captures raw data from multiple sources (software systems, websites, SQL databases, data warehouses, Excel files, CSV files and dozens of other sources) and ties the data together in a manner similar to a relational database, but with custom calculations and analysis built in.

The model allows you to clean, shape, analyze, summarize and present all that data so that it is useful to you, as a business owner or finance or operations professional, to evaluate your business and make better decisions about how to grow it.

What do you mean by "automation"?

Automation is a fancy word for connections between software systems that move data without human intervention. We use automation technology tools to transfer data between your disconnected software systems so your admin staff don't have to do it by hand.

An example includes connecting to your billing software and its Application Programming Interface (API) to move transaction and timesheet data to your HR/Payroll software, so you can process payroll more quickly, and with fewer admin staff hours to do so.

What do you mean by "business intelligence"?

Business intelligence (BI) is just a fancy category name for tools that turn raw data into information you can use.

You see this information in custom dashboards, data visualizations and reports that highlight changes over time or give you a better understanding of your company's health and performance.
