Often, yes. The semantic layer and the metric definitions matter more than the tool, and they can serve more than one front end.
Jeddah Solutions
Best BI, analytics and embedded insights company in Jeddah
Metrics defined once, dashboards people trust and insights inside the applications where decisions are made. Hosn Al Tomoh works with organisations in Jeddah on analytics, agreeing scope, responsibilities and proof of completion for each phase from the start.
Business intelligence turns operational data into numbers people trust: a semantic layer that defines each metric once, dashboards built on it, and insights embedded where decisions are made. Most of the effort goes into agreeing definitions, such as what counts as revenue or an active customer, before any chart is drawn.
Saudi programmes usually have to account for the Essential Cybersecurity Controls of the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA), the Personal Data Protection Law overseen by SDAIA and, for government entities, the standards of the Digital Government Authority. Banks answer to SAMA, and insurers to the Insurance Authority. We plan hosting, data classification and evidence around these from the start, and quote in Saudi riyals.
Your teams keep oversight throughout, and before we step back we hand over the runbooks and train the people who will run the work.
Where you already work with systems integrators or vendors, we can deliver in partnership with them, with each party's responsibilities written into the contract.
What the work covers
We measure success in working systems and agreed metrics, not in recommendations.
- One definition per metric, owned by the business and published in the semantic layer.
- Row-level security that follows the same roles as the source systems.
- Warehouse costs tracked per workload, so expensive queries show up early.
What we check first
Dashboards lose trust when two reports show different numbers for the same metric. We settle each definition and its owner before building reports, and retire duplicates as we go.
At the end of each phase we provide the proof your risk and audit teams need to file: test results, access reviews and signed handover documents.
Before you start
Practical questions from IT and procurement teams.
Each phase is scoped and priced separately, with the team, the deliverables and the acceptance criteria written down, and you receive an itemised quote before work starts.
Your team, unless you choose managed services. We name who is responsible for each component before launch, hand over the runbooks and train your people.
How the work runs
Four stages, each with clear criteria for moving to the next.
Discover
We document the current set-up, the people involved and the constraints, and agree what success looks like.
Design and plan
We set the target design, phases, test approach and acceptance criteria, and review them with your architects and risk team.
Build and test in stages
We deliver in increments, testing and demonstrating each one before the next begins.
Hand over
We hand over runbooks, train your team and support the launch, then formally transfer responsibility to the people you nominate.
