Profile

OUR COMPANY
Knowledge Integration Dynamics (KID) was formed in 1999 to address a clearly identified need in the South African corporate market for high-performance business intelligence solutions. Independent and entrepreneurial, KID encompasses in its ranks some of the greatest business intelligence delivery capability in South Africa, with more than 40 years' aggregated experience and knowledge.

Our reputation for integrity and experience, passion for customer satisfaction, adoption of advanced technologies, demonstrated performance and a clearly focused organisation has resulted in a loyal and referencable customer base. Interactions with our people and customers are characterised by an atmosphere of mutual respect, continual personal growth and fun.

 

What we do

Our mission is to develop the Business Intelligence (BI) capability of our customers through the provision of application solutions, software components and comprehensive services to enable better business decisions.

The late 1990s and early 21st century have been and will continue to be noteworthy for the advent of new-style business applications such as e-business, customer relationship management and knowledge management. In addition, many thousands of organisations have implemented ERP systems.

Common to all these applications is the customer and business-related data that flows through and between them, and management's need to obtain a cohesive view of this data and turn it into meaningful information.

Our insight was that business intelligence as an overall discipline and data warehousing and data mining as the specific applications would unlock the value of this data and provide management with an overall insight into the business, irrespective of the application. This insight has been validated with analyst groups such as Meta and Gartner stating that the delivery and value of e-business, customer relationship management and ERP will not be released until the business intelligence aspect has been fulfilled.

How we do it

While our skills set spans multiple technologies, we always focus on the business issues and deliverables so as to ensure that the best technologies are deployed to support the specific application. We also have a logical and practical approach to project delivery supported by a proven methodology that is based on a logical and practical approach to project delivery. Our objective is always to deliver business benefit as soon as possible by focusing on a staged delivery.

Many of our customers are well into their third generation of delivering business intelligence applications, which underscores our ability to serve our clients' on-going business needs.

We strive to build our customer relationships on business partnerships rather than supplier/customer transactions.
