Businesses today are highly competitive working in an always changing global economy, to succeed in such an environment, they must operate as one seamless entity. Further more if your business has multiple branches and franchises spread out across the country or globally, all the more reason to be that all your branches & franchises be on one single data environment versus being established as silos supported by islands of automation. All your transaction systems must support end-to-end business process flows that efficiently communicate, talk, transport and track data from manufacturing to the customer; have the ability to provide score carding, analysis & constant monitoring of performance.
If you ask for availability of information in a corporation today, there is no visible lack of data. But what really is lacking, is the ability to bring this data together and transform it from extended supply chains, third party systems and retail operations into useful business intelligence.
