Business metrics and insights, performance- and position-indicators are among the essential pieces and collections of information that every business needs to have access to at arm’s length. These need to be made available, as and when business needs it, which is not always the case in most organizations.

For businesses to respond to any market or environmental changes, manage competitor’s challenges or threats, organizations need relevant, meaningful, accurate and readily-available information, which fast becomes an essential differentiator between responsive organizations that stay abreast of the events that affect their operations, and those that to their detriment react too late, which can have detrimental effects in this fast-paced world we live in.
