BI Systems and Spreadsheets

"Despite all the advances provided by transaction-processing applications… business managers and executives still struggle to understand what drives performance and how to make decisions that will achieve their strategic goals and objectives."

GARTNER, PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT: THE NEXT WAVE OF 
PROCESS IMPROVEMENT, NOV 2009

ERP, CRM and SCM applications monitor past performance, and lack the reporting capabilities to model scenario changes. Failing to meet the role-based needs of the business manager, their complex data structures make it difficult to access information quickly. So it's tough to make informed, competitive business decisions in the face of fluctuating economic conditions.

As a result, many business users have developed their own solutions. The most common is the spreadsheet. Applied in many different ways from one department to another, these documents quickly become unmanageable and out of date, often contain significant errors and don't encourage effective information sharing and collaboration.
