We are in an increasingly competitive and fast-paced business environment. Organizations have become decentralized, product/service life cycles have shortened, and the competitive environment is now viewed globally. In such an environment, competitive advantage depends on the ability to cut costs, increase revenue, and uncover hidden efficiencies. It requires information that is typically spread across multiple systems, departments, and business units. To support effective decision-making in your organization, you require timely, accurate information about your business, your products, your customers, and your markets.

One of the greatest assets of an organization is the data it already owns – but has yet to fully exploit. According to a study conducted by IBM, a typical company utilizes only 2% to 4% of data stored in OLTP, ERP, CRM, and various other systems. Transforming that data into information is key to transforming your business into a competitive force in a dynamic marketplace. Only with the right information in the hands of the right people at the right time can you keep pace in today’s environment.

Feedback and Learning – Enterprise Business Intelligence

Business enterprises prosper or fail according to the sophistication and speed of their responsiveness to changing market conditions. In this environment, organizations demand faster information synthesis and more sophisticated analysis. Furthermore, organizations are utilizing technology to unite operational execution with strategic objectives. The need for Business Intelligence thus applies universally throughout the organization. Enterprise Business Intelligence solutions play a critical role in proactively responding to competitive market conditions and coalescing operational execution with high-level corporate strategy.

Enterprise Business Intelligence depends on an integrated information system that facilitates the retrieval, analysis, and manipulation of data across all functional areas. Business Intelligence systems provide the underlying analytical engine by focusing on the access and delivery of business information to end-users. The focal point is the strategic use of information and continuous improvement of the process, rather than the accumulation of data. The right data warehouse and decision support blueprint will:

• Maximize the Value of Existing Technology Resources
• Access Vital Data needed to make Strategic Decisions
• Transform Data into Actionable Information
• Improve the Accuracy and Timeliness of Business and Customer Data
• Eliminate Redundancies to improve Efficiencies
• Discover New Data Relationships and Strategic Information using Data Mining Technologies

In today’s demanding global business environment, effective use of corporate information is not just a competitive advantage, it is a competitive necessity.
