Custom Solutions
Build or buy? How can you tell which approach will best achieve your desired goals now and in the future? As with all good architecture, form should follow function. This means first address the business needs. Often an off the shelf product gets you partially “there,” but does not address all of your critical concerns. So ask yourself, what makes the most business sense? What can best address both your functional needs as well as your fiscal needs? When the answer is “build,” KEEN Consulting can deliver.
Your enterprise software must fit or adapt to your organization’s business needs, not the other way around. Our Custom Application Development practice provides flexible customization coupled with proven development practices to ensure that our solution will satisfy your current business needs and those needs of tomorrow.

To build or not to build

Accelerated time to deployment
Greater flexibility
Improved usability and employee satisfaction
Increased process optimization
Reduced operational costs
Enhanced customer relations through more easily accessible content

Data Warehouse Solutions (On-Prem & Cloud)
If you’re pulling data — particularly large volumes of disparate data — together to make analytics and reports, you’ll need to store it somewhere. As a core component of data-driven business intelligence, a Data Warehouse (DW) — combined with an ETL (extract, transform, load) platform — integrates data from different, typically transactional, sources (like Marketo, CRM, Salesforce, inventory systems and even web analytics, to name a few). A DW often stores both current and historical data, and is always aimed at getting overviews and insights only possible from a single, canonical data store.
KCG can help your organization to navigate the numerous options to implement the right on-prem or cloud solutions that provides the security and extensibility that you need and can help you achieve those goals and possibly save your organization money along the way.
