With the wealth of data available today, organizations are no longer willing to relegate information to the back office. Instead, they are demanding access to customer purchase histories, customer behavior and product sales trends at the time of contact or time of sale. These businesses need to make immediate operational decisions based on substantial analysis to optimize every transaction, process and decision at the point of impact, based on the current situation, without requiring that everyone be an analytical expert. They want to make fact-based decisions.
However, this creates new challenges, because it is not enough to capture massive amounts of data; organizations must also sift through the data, extract information and transform it into actionable knowledge. And this must be done quickly, while the information is still relevant. Today, technology has advanced to the stage where it’s not only possible, but it’s viable and highly valuable.
Join this complimentary webcast as Dr. Barry Devlin, Founder and Principal, 9sight Consulting, describes what operational analytics can do for your business and reviews an architectural approach that will enable you to make it a reality. You’ll learn how to empower your business users to make the best possible decision in individual interactions with customers and prospects, partners, and suppliers.
The webcast will be available for replay after the event.
