Flying blind

As 2020 showed, you don’t always have the luxury of time to respond to business challenges. IT now, more than ever needs to empower the business and be ready for anything. How ready you can be often depending on how quickly good decisions can be made.

Businesses need to have a full and complete understating of their capability – this obviously requires deep Business Intelligence on the assets and technology that can be called upon and what limitations or challenges stand in the way of delivering the goal.

For meaningful Business Intelligence, you must first have good data available and this is still the stumbling block for most organizations. Data still fragmented, out of reach, unfathomable, held in silos within legacy asset management toolsets, still disparate.

This inevitably means waiting for reports or running scripts and pulling information out of different tools – manually collating… a process that’s time consuming, prone to error and ultimately the information attained immediately becomes stale.

Data collated in this way is then extremely difficult to enrich with further intelligence that would make the task at hand easier, as it is inconsistent due to coming from different sources and becomes unwieldy to make any meaningful sense of. This makes the processes that are reliant on the data much slower, more difficult and potentially even risky to the business – wasting time and draining more precious resources.

This lack of quality and trust in the data itself is compounded as often the tools it’s come from are not 100% reliable either… leaving fundamental gaps and uncertainty in a process that should deliver insight and inspire confidence.

When demand arises, you need to be able to interact with your data in a way that gives you the precise answers you need and you need to know that the data itself is reliable. Traditionally, this multi-toolset spanning challenge has proven too difficult to transform such complex data into usable knowledge you can trust to make decisions… that is, until now.
