Data in large companies is collected in many different sourcesGood data, good decisions
Decision-makers must be able to rely on their data to make fact-based decisions. However, data is stored in many different systems, for example:
- Back-Office-Systeme wie SAP ERPs,
- CRM systems such as Salesforce,
- File repositories such as OneDrive and Sharepoint,
- Excel and PowerPoint files on shared drives,
- Reports that are sent via email.
Transparency through consolidationThe goal: all information in one tool
To be able to make reliable decisions quickly, you need up-to-date, relevant data prepared for your purposes. We call these: dashboards.
Use dashboards to aggregate the information relevant to you from various data sources and display it in a clear and concise manner.
Connect all relevant data sources and supplement data with information that your stakeholders can maintain directly in the tool (e.g. in the browser or in mobile apps).
Be proactively informed if, for example, certain KPIs are below their target values or data deliveries are delayed.
Challenges
As a company with many disconnected data sources, you have a number of challenges to overcome:
- Consolidating data means manual effort
In order to get an overview (e.g. in dashboards) and make informed decisions, companies often implement manual processes to consolidate data. Project Management Organizations (PMOs)
manually consolidate data in Excel reports, manually create slide decks from them, collect information manually by e-mail, manually inform stakeholders about deadlines, manually escalate to management in the event of deviations from targets, have to work with inconsistent data because there are too many unaligned data sources. This manual work is repetitive, error-prone, and resource-intensive.
- Traditional business intelligence tools do not efficiently solve data consolidation and reporting challenges
With classic business intelligence (BI) systems, data from many sources can be consolidated and uniform reports can be generated. However, in most cases, these systems require custom implementations to connect new data sources and are inflexible in their reporting capabilities. The cost of initially setting up and configuring these tools and connecting data sources is significant. Often, companies shy away from these large investments and stick to manual processes.
- Implementing consolidated reporting tools from scratch is expensive
As an alternative to large BI systems, some organizations implement fully customized solutions. While these solutions offer full flexibility, they do not benefit from existing developments and require significant ongoing maintenance. That's why they are expensive both in the initial implementation and on the fly.
