YOUR DATA: A NEW FORM OF CAPITAL
As business processes have become more automated than ever before, organizations have more data stored in their operational systems than at any time since the dawn of the information age.  However, few successfully convert raw data into valuable information. Many otherwise mature organizations still rely upon multiple sources for information to make decisions. In addition to information delay, these departmental information silos leave executive leaders and line managers with multiple versions of the truth. Problems include:

• Conflicting reports for the same metric
• Information arrives too late for action
• Data exploration is difficult, if not impossible
• Teams cannot effectively use information for collaboration

ENTER BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE (BI)
