What are companies doing to turn their data into actionable information to increase revenue?

Your data is spread across multiple systems, which poses a significant challenge. For several decades, companies have invested in systems designed to manage supply and costs and drive efficiency, including:

• MRP − Materials Resource Planning (Operations)
• MPS – Master Production Scheduler (Operations)
• Demand Planning and Forecasting (Operations)
• ERP – Integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (Operations)
• SCM – Supply Chain Management Software (Operations)
• CRM – Customer Relationship Management (Sales/ Marketing)
• CPQ – Configure, Price, Quote (Sales/Marketing)
• Data Warehouses (Data/Analytics)
• Billing Systems (Finance)

Many organizations still use spreadsheets to unify disparate data and look for insights. Unfortunately, building and maintaining spreadsheet models requires expertise. Finding actionable insights within large spreadsheets is exceedingly difficult and time-consuming. Even worse, spreadsheets are prone to human error!
