A new approach to BI: Decision enablement
Written by NSA COM
Decision enablement starts with the idea that the ultimate desired outcome of any data solution (business intelligence included) is high user adoption. Adoption can be measured as the number of users making more data driven decisions. And, the more users that are making decisions —based on data—the better for the business.
Where decision enablement begins to break off from traditional BI is not in its goal, but in its approach. This is a notable shift in perspective to the wants, needs and desires of the enduser. Instead of empowering and enabling IT, decision enablement focuses on the end user first.
So, how do you give the end user what they want? You deliver a framework for making on the fly decisions.And,there you arrive at decision enablement: A user intuitive framework for ad-hoc decision making across the broad base of a company’s user community that doesn’t require support or intervention from IT.
Phocas business intelligence for Infor was built for the end-user with this approach in mind. Integrating seamlessly with Infor SX.e and CloudSuite Distribution, Phocas makes it easy for all users to drill down from high-level visual summaries into the underlying data and arrive at insights to make better decisions for their business.
In the increasingly fast-paced COVID world, with economic shutdowns, supply chain disruptions, and unprecedented business failures, more companies are discovering the need to enable and empower users to make decisions in the moment. The traditional IT-centric business intelligence model will continue to struggle to meets the needs of the growing number of decision makers on the front lines of businesses. Decision enablement will be the next chapter in companies desire to manage data and make decisions
