Business Intelligence: What Is It For?

Business Intelligence

With 500 corporate clients and 60,000 users, we are delighted to have reached a new milestone that brings with it its own set of challenges, such as standardizing VSA, VSE, and VSP reports.

As many uses as there are users

That’s hardly an exaggeration! As our users’ roles, responsibilities, and goals have multiplied, so too have the good ideas for improving our reports.

More than 20 “Fit Your Needs” proposals involving reports are open for voting.

New business sectors

IT services companies, consulting firms, recruitment agencies, software vendors, system integrators, umbrella employement companies …

To each their own style, to each their own method!

And a rapidly growing customer base!

The reports that were sufficient for managing a $1 million turnover must be expanded when you reach $10 million.

And so the big debate—Flexibility vs. Simplicity—began at Veryswing

Should we offer users the flexibility to customize reports to their specific needs, even if that risks making our solutions more complicated to use?

Keep things simple but not support our users in their daily lives?

Flexibility or Simplicity: We Chose… Both!

VS-DB: The Add-On for Accessing Your Data

When you subscribe to the VS-DB add-on, we provide you with direct (SQL) access to your data in a secure manner (SSL certificate).

Your data is replicated to dedicated servers in real time to ensure your application continues to function normally (no slowdowns, no risks!).

This is the starting point for querying all your data stored in vsa, vse, and vsp and creating your own reports!

Let’s Get Started on a Business Intelligence (BI) Project

BI refers to a set of technologies, processes, and practices designed to improve your decision-making based on your data.

These data are:

  • Collected, integrated, analyzed
  • Really well presented
  • Real-time data from your Veryswing app
  • A relevant basis for calculating indicators

Another benefit of a BI tool is its ability to connect to various data sources to generate a unified report

  • Say goodbye to isolated reports in each of your line-of-business applications!
  • You have the connector with VSA, VSE, and VSP
  • What if you also had an integration with your accounting software? Or your payroll tool?


With these customized and automated reports, you’ll streamline the rapid and consistent delivery of high-quality information to you, your managers, and your teams!

This collaborative effort is at the heart of a BI project, as you will need to have complete control over access to different levels of information based on a person’s role or position within your organization. Ensuring the security of your data, maintaining confidentiality, and managing how reports are distributed must be a priority.

You understand the challenges of business intelligence: transforming data from various tools into useful insights that enable you to make the right decisions at the right time.

This transition should be initiated by an internal or external team with expertise in:

  • Database Topics, Decision-Making Tools
  • Project management and oversight of the analysis, planning, functional and technical design, development, testing, documentation and training, and deployment phases

If you are already a VSA or VSP customer, please refer to the online documentation for more information.
