Business Intelligence Companies & Consultants in Waterbury, CT

Corpim, formally Corporate InfoManagement, is a consultancy that helps organizations change how they gather, organize and distribute the information behind their decisions. Its clients range from young ventures to some of the largest corporations in the country. Corpim pairs high-level architectural advice with data engineering, hosted platforms and a set of in-house subscription software products built for particular industries. The company has been serving clients in a variety of fields for roughly two decades, since the 2000s.

Business Intelligence and Data Services

Organizations evaluating analytics partners will likely be most interested in two of Corpim's practices: corporate performance management and the overhaul of aging data environments. On the performance management side, consultants install, configure and support widely used commercial planning, reporting and analytics products, backed by a quarter century or more of hands-on experience with them.

The modernization group, meanwhile, moves businesses off scattered, brittle databases housed in their own server rooms and onto modular, cloud-based building blocks. These new environments are meant to handle heavy data loads, put information in front of more people across the organization, and lay groundwork for artificial intelligence and machine learning initiatives. Core services include:

• Rollout, configuration and ongoing upkeep of corporate performance management products
• Upgrading data infrastructure and replacing outdated systems
• Cloud deployments of every type, whether shared, dedicated, blended or spread across several vendors, using Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Oracle environments
• Systems design guidance, technology strategy advice and part-time or outsourced chief information officer services
• A dedicated engineering studio for one-off, client-specific projects

Proprietary Platforms

Leading Corpim's product lineup is DataLynx Cloud, an analytics service created specifically for car dealers. By the company's own account, it generates upward of 200,000 reports and visual summaries each year for the people who run dealerships. Dealer groups operating many rooftops use it to standardize operations, see performance across the entire organization and trim administrative overhead.

Corpim also markets Aegis Private Cloud and provides hosted environments for accounting suites such as QuickBooks, as well as for enterprise resource planning and retail checkout back-end software.

Industries and Client Results

Corpim structures its staff around vertical markets, concentrating on auto retail, insurance, banking and finance, industrial production and health care. Engagements the firm highlights include:

• Shifting the marketing spend planning and reporting of a Fortune 500 consumer products maker off a homegrown application and onto an off-the-shelf cloud subscription product, lowering its yearly cost of ownership by over $300K
• Steering a young health care analytics company working with very large datasets to a current-generation data platform that runs faster and consolidates its security and regulatory controls
• Assisting a Fortune 100 financial institution in folding in the technology and workflows of a rival of comparable size that it had purchased, finishing on time and on budget

Approach and Credentials

A central theme of Corpim's method is matching technology to business priorities: consultants study a client's market first and then connect each recommendation to concrete organizational objectives.

Its architects carry a broad mix of professional credentials, among them the Open Group's enterprise architecture framework, Hadoop cluster management, Oracle's cloud platform, Microsoft cloud design and Microsoft cloud data science, plus Amazon Web Services architecture certification. Project leaders keep stakeholders up to date with written records, working demos of progress and daily check-ins on outstanding questions and potential risks.

Corpim also pays close attention to whether people actually use what it delivers. It writes plain-language guides and platform walkthroughs so that business staff can get comfortable with new reporting tools and internal technology teams can confidently assume responsibility for the systems once the engagement ends. The company's headquarters are in Waterbury, Connecticut.
