1. Controlling time and costs

Experience shows that establishing and maintaining a management information system is a long and costly affair. Projects are characterized by progressive insight with extensive crossing of time and deadlines as a result. We often see a lack of expertise and time to provide reliable management information. And if it succeeds, it is often a very labor intensive process, only enforceable by one individual in the organization, because of the required specialist knowledge. Astragy significantly saves a lot of money to set up an environment specific to your organization with standard components according to best practices and state-of-the-art cloud-based infrastructure. This environment is fully equipped and managed by external specialists, giving you no extra investment, and your (IT)organization is relieved. This "intelligence" solution is known as SaaS (Software as a Service)

2. Better management information

Good insight into the performance of operations, market development and competitiveness generally requires a large amount of information. Moreover, it requires time and knowledge to place this information in the proper context. Astragy improves the insight of your managers by giving them the right information at the right time and in the proper context. This enables managers to improve the performance of their department, to better serve their customers and to outsmart their competitors. In other words, since they are provided with better information they have a cleaner view so they can act and make better decisions faster.

3. Improve the use of management information

A lot of the management information that is usually supplied nowadays are standard reports and dashboards. At the time the reports are delivered, the question of internal customers has just been changed by new insights. Reports are therefore often of little or no use. In short, they all meet (no longer) meet the specific needs of the specific moment. Astragy provides the possibility that users can easily make their own customized reports and receive personalized management information (eg depending on function, region, themes). By using Astragy this way you’ll improve the quality of work and decisions in the organization.

4. Satisfied internal customers

More and more decisions should be based on measurable (and reproducible) facts, instead of ad hoc data collected , experience or gut feeling. Finding the right data is expensive and time consuming. This tension field leads results for many management information systems quickly into high IT costs and dissatisfied internal customers.  Astragy saves time and cost of collecting facts by providing all relevant information in a single location. Controllable and consistent throughout the organization.
