As market pressures increase, organizations are looking for ways to harness information as a strategic asset. When treated as such, information becomes a significant competitive differentiator. All too often, however, this information is inconsistent, out of date, incomplete or simply not available when and where it is needed most. The effects of this information misalignment can be felt throughout the organization in rising costs, inefficiencies and missed opportunities. A lack of trusted information can result in even more dire consequences. New products or business models executed on the basis of faulty information can result in costly failures.
These challenges are not new, but the need to address the problem is more pressing than ever before. Equally important, the ability to overcome these challenges and make timely, trusted information available has never been better.
