The business King Maker !

"Nearly 2/3 Managers believe poor MI is hurting productivity by 29%. In the UK that's some £46 billion in the private sector alone

Its important to take Business Information (BI) seriously. But many businesses may just be paying lip-service here. Accounts staff and sales personnel are present in most organisations - but how often do they have someone looking after the BI ? Often this is left to accountants or IT staff.

Gartner goes on :

"...to survive organisations must exploit their information assets.... For too long IT professionals have focussed too much on technology and not enough on information"

The information systems health of a business can't be assessed as easily as other assets and the consequences of poor information can easily be laid at another door. The volume of BI is forecast to more than double in the next 5 years putting further pressure on information systems.

BI is particularly important in the following areas:

• Customer Service - to help grow sales to existing cusotmers and protect against competitors
• Marketing - to cultivate new profitable outlets
• Process improvements - to reduce costs and maximise competitive advantage
• Ensuring reulatory compliance and fraud protection
