Today’s operational managers are challenged to make mission-critical decisions, often times based only on their experience and gut instinct. As the speed of business accelerates and more data is created, the ability to harness the power of information on a day-to-day or tactical basis is proving to be a competitive advantage for companies that have made fact-based decision making a priority. Blending functional specific domain expertise with clean and timely business insight, top performing organizations are leveraging business analytics to generate a clearer picture of what is happening right now in their operational processes, and positioning themselves to make smarter and faster adjustments. Whether actionable insight is needed on a real-time, hourly, or even daily basis, these leading organizations are exploiting "right-time" analytics to promote operational performance, and long-term sustainability.
Join Mike Lock, Senior Research Analyst for Business Intelligence, during this web seminar to learn how Best-in-Class companies leverage an efficient strategy for operational intelligence in order to drive faster and more informed decision support to their key operational decision makers, ultimately leading to measurable performance impact in key metrics like operating cash flow, sales pipeline efficiency, and customer response.
This event is targeted specifically at independent software vendors (ISVs) and other technology providers considering operational intelligence and analytical tools as a way of delivering more tactical insight and real-time analytical capability to their user base. During this webcast, attendees will learn:
- Top business pressures driving the need for analytics on a tactical or operational basis
- Visible trends around the need for faster information
- Tangible end-user performance achievable through the use of efficient operational intelligence
