MIK-BIS Successfully Launched
MIK recently introduced its fourth generation product called MIK-BIS. This product currently ranks as the highest-performance business intelligence suite available on the market. MIK-BIS was developed on the basis of Microsoft .NET, currently considered to be the most modern software platform available. The new product also builds on our company’s 20 years of dedicated experience in the field of business intelligence.
Why did MIK decide to develop MIK-BIS?
We were essentially guided by the following objective: We wanted MIK-BIS to be a tool that is capable of providing a comprehensive platform for displaying all of the processes that take place inside a company. Both individual specialized departments and corporate management can now obtain access to all of the key operating figures they require in real-time.

Success speaks for itself
Sankyo/Munich, Edeka/Southern Bavaria, Conergy/Hamburg, SCHOTT/Mainz and Berentzen/Haselünne have all decided to use MIK-BIS. “Previously, our people had to spend a lot of time on the phone asking for the information they were missing in order to make decisions. Today, they receive exactly the data they require extremely quickly. Consequently, they are able to spend their time on more important matters than just collecting data,” says Heike Rohlfing-Bolte, head of the controlling department at EDEKA.

Hot Topic: Sales Management
When it comes to a company’s overall success, sales certainly plays an extremely important role. After all, the sales strategy lays the foundation for increased revenue, financial stability and evaluation of future markets and performance. And a professional sales approach is key to establishing the prerequisites for a sustained and profitable partnership with customers. Companies that have decided to analyze and manage their sales activities with the help of business intelligence instruments at an early stage in time have already been quite successful in gaining valuable competitive advantages over comparable companies that aren’t using these tools.
The following functionalities have proven to be extremely valuable for individual companies: - Integration of market related and competitive data (Nielsen regions)
- Stoplight functionalities displayed through visualized maps that offer drill down capabilities
- The system actively notifies users whenever certain values have either exceeded or fallen below defined thresholds
