Our Focus - Megode is uniquely positioned to support and coach organizations to achieve success with their BI implementation allowing them to adapt faster to changing market conditions, listen to customers more effectively, and, most importantly, improve the organization’s overall profitability.

Our Market - Megode's target market focuses on small to medium businesses (SMB) and their unique business problems. Our passion is to deliver targeted, cost effective SMB BI capabilities.

Historically, in part because of the tools and consultant costs, BI (Business Intelligence) has been a capability exclusively leveraged by large enterprises. While BI tools have come more in line with SMB budgets, highly skilled BI consultants remain focused on lucrative large enterprise solutions. This leaves the deliverables created for today's small to medium businesses in the hands of more junior talent more often than not leaving SMB companies with some form of reporting application rather than a true BI capability. In truth, today more than ever, SMB businesses leadership require true Business Intelligence from their data to be able to make critical, time-sensitive decisions.

Megode's focus is on the complex, evolutionary nature of small-to-medium businesses. Megode believes that companies will go through specific stages of maturation (ask us to show you the research!). Each of Megode's SMB clients is evaluated and their appropriate BI solution is created to (a) meet that businesses' needs today while and the same time (b) place executives in a position to make key strategic decisions for their future growth and direction.

This BI strategy keeps our client's costs to a minimum (and always with a clear ROI tactic at each stage of maturity) but always with an eye on our client's future business direction(s).

Our Employees - Megode's core value system is the collective brainchild of Megode's two primary partners: Anthony Kippen and Llewellyn Preece. Together they offer decades of experience in business development, business architecture, enterprise development, BI and data warehousing skills. Each partner brings to the core executive team complimentary skill sets and focuses ranging from a passion for the clear identification of the business problem (the "what") to the ideal business solution (the "how").
