Business Description:Banks worldwide are sitting on a mountain of data following the implementation of Core Banking systems. Money is being spent managing the data burden, but no profit generating information is being created in the process thereby creating a case for BI.

While BI tools are mature, there are very few solutions which provide "value for money" due to the lack of understanding of the business among BI tools vendors. i-Create bridges this need in the market by providing pre-packaged BI banking industry specific solutions.

i-Create provides a one-stop shop providing all the solutions and related services for a BI implementation that provides the fastest ROI for Global Banks.

i-Create is currently active in the Middle East, South Africa and South East Europe.
