Business Analytics Leads to Smart Decisions and Outcomes

CRS is one of a select number of firms that advocates the use of business analytics – data mining, performance measurement, and predictive modeling in the conduct of day-to-day business decision for medium to large sized organizations.

What Does CRS Do?

First off, we do NOT make our living from writing books, giving seminars, selling software, or publishing “how-to-do-it” e-books. What we do is deliver financial results – increased revenues, larger profits, or reduced costs. The following diagram provides a high-level view of what we are all about:

How do we deliver the results? We get to know your organization at the most basic level, understand what your data means and what is relevant to your decision making, apply data mining tools to make sense of what is happening now, build predictive models to project what will happen in the future based on certain decisions and actions, and help implement the solutions that will give you the desired results.

CRS provides the analytical tools and expertise to enable organizations to better understand the meaning behind their data, to make better informed trade-offs, and improve decision making.

We give you access to all of tools we have built – CRS Lityx Platform, CRS Business Analytics Platform, Customer Portal, and resource materials. The only commitment is a subscription fee for our hosted service or a block of pre-purchased time increments for consulting/platform use.

The pricing arrangement is based on what you are planning on using – as little or as much as you want. Click on the Service Offerings page to see more details on these arrangements.

There is no long-term contract, expensive software to purchase or staff to hire. We also offer standard or customized training courses and a full suite of consulting services priced to match the scope of the work requested.

What Makes CRS Different?

Unlike software companies or consulting organizations, CRS provides all of the analytical tools and expertise at a fraction of the cost of those other providers.

We enable you to understand the benefits before pursuing the development of your own internal analytical group and infrastructure. For those customers who don’t want to make the investment, they can rely on CRS to provide a complete analytical environment for as long as they want.

We have access to the best tools available in the marketplace. Our “service bureau” relationship with our vendors allows us to offer these capabilities to our customers. We also receive regular upgrades as part of our maintenance agreements with these vendors.

What Do Customers Say?

CRS customers praise us for bring them the analytical capabilities and predictive modeling tools available only to the largest companies until now.

They also complement us on the thoroughness of our current business analysis and the time we take to explain what the analysis means and the options available to them for improving their financial performance.
