3 factors that prevent you from maximizing your data?s potential

Most businesses understand the need to collect data to help them better understand their customers. Most businesses do collect data. But many fail to maximize its potential.

Data analysis and reporting: Inhibiting factors

Companies are prevented from taking full advantage of their data by three main factors:

1.  No personalized data analysis and reporting system
The problem isn’t that companies don’t collect data – it’s that they collect vast quantities. Many companies have so much disparate data that deciphering it, analyzing it and placing it in usable reports that are deliverable to the people that matter is costly, and a near insurmountable task.

2.  No real-time data delivery
Many companies cannot access their data in real-time – sometimes taking days or weeks to get the data they need. This inability to access actionable and accurate data when it is needed negates marketplace competitiveness.

3.  No organization-wide access to data analysis
Many companies have highly complex data collation, analysis and reporting systems that require expert technical support to access and interpret captured data. This situation prevents non-technical business personnel from maximizing the benefits of data analysis.
