KPMG: Business Intelligence Service Provider Leader Recognition

By Rob Starr, Content Manager, Big4.com

Steve Lis, a KPMG partner and leader of the U.S. firm’s Management Consulting Group, said the member firms of KPMG International have a strategic focus on helping clients improve their ability to manage and leverage their data.

“We are working to help companies focus first on their desired business outcomes, and aim for precision and relevance in the data so that it becomes actionable intelligence,” said Lis. “Business intelligence and data and analytics capabilities have quickly changed from a standalone technology solution to standard operating procedure for forward-thinking executives.”

To that end, KPMG was cited as a leader in the fourth quarter 2012 Forrester Wave^™ Business Intelligence Service Providers report.

The report pointed to KPMG as having “a strong technology advisory practice,” and went on to say that KPMG is “a global leader” in advisory and consulting services related to BI and analytics, with “significant focus on analytics and decision support, performance and risk, and information management.”
