In today’s economic and competitive environment, a successful business needs advanced methods not just for storing and managing data, but for transforming that data into knowledge that guides the decision-making process.

Here are some typical challenges that organizations face in analyzing their data:

I have tables showing individual shipments of products to customers, but it’s difficult to organize and interpret all the details.

Who are my biggest customers for various products?

What are my most popular products for various customers?

Are there any customer or product trends that should affect my long-term planning?

I know the addresses of my facilities, those of my competitors, and those of my current and potential customers.

Are my facilities in the best locations for my market?

Are there any facilities that I should open, close or acquire?

I know how much my facilities produce and how much my customers demand.

Am I getting products to customers by the least expensive means?

How do my facilities match up with logistics networks?

My firm has thousands of employees, but we don’t have a central source of information on each person’s areas of expertise.

How do we connect employees who have questions to those who may have answers?

How do we get information out to the right individuals without overloading employees with email?
