As the world economy moves towards a potential global recession companies are asking about how could they could optimized their investments in business intelligence, BPM, data mining, and analytics. The answer is simple: go to a fixed price operational dashboard model that requires vendors and service providers to:
1. Deliver within 90 days a proof of concept (POC) operational decision support system;
2. Operational means that information workers within the company can use the decision support system to meet a company’s financial goals;
3. The POC should be measured in one of three simple key performance indicators: increase revenues, decrease costs, or increase the percentage of profits; and
4. Total price for POC should not be more than $25,000
In a recession companies must manage with a laser focus their revenues, expenditures, and investments. Strategic dashboards are nice, but operational dashboards reach down into the income producing worker. The goal of achieving a cost efficient and revenue enhancing operational dashboard is within all companies regardless of the technology that they use (i.e., Oracle/Hyperion, IBM/Cognos, Microsoft SQL 2005 and 2008, SAS, or Business Objects/SAP). Even small companies can use Software-as-a-Service analytics like Zementis to build operational dashboards that are cost efficient.
