Ten Leading Business Intelligence Software Solutions - 2 views

  •  
    "Ten Leading Business Intelligence Software Solutions By Thor Olavsrud May 5, 2010 The Business Intelligence software market is shaping up as a David vs. Goliath struggle. Behemoths like Microsoft, Oracle and IBM offer feature-rich BI suites along with their many other enterprise software products. Meanwhile, pure-play business intelligence software vendors -- such as MicroStrategy and Tableau -- have avid followers and are known for innovating around new features and quickly adjusting to the shifting marketplace. Why is this important? Because Business Intelligence software is used to extract data from disparate sources -- spreadsheets, databases and other software programs -- inside companies and then analyze that business data to better understand a firm's internal and external strengths and weaknesses. A business relies heavily on this data. Bottom line: Business intelligence software enables managers to better see the relationship between different data for critical decision-making -- particularly opportunities for innovation, cost reduction and optimal resource deployment. The list below includes ten industry-leading BI solutions, from vendors large and not-so-large. If you're looking for a bird's eye view of this rapidly evolving market, the following condensed portraits should help. Business Intelligence Software: Ten Solutions Note: This list is NOT ordered "best to worst." The question of what business intelligence software solution is best for a given company depends on an entire matrix of factors. This list is simply an overview of BI solutions, with the debate about quality left to individual clients. SAP Crystal Reports Crystal Reports is part of SAP's Business Objects portfolio of business intelligence software solutions. It allows users to graphically design interactive reports and connect them to virtually any data source, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Oracle databases, Business Objects Enterprise business views and local file system info

12 Rules For Bringing 'Social' To Your Business - 0 views

  • But for most of us to really get strategic value from social business, we'll need to understand the ground rules. In other words, let's ask and answer the tough questions in making this transition: Are social business activities generally better than non-social business activities? How does having a social business help the bottom line and the long-term health of an organization? What, in the end, does "taking a business social" really mean?
  • the network (the Web or enterprise or both) is about who is on it and how involved they are.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • the transition to social business is about involving and engaging people far more than it is about picking a technology or building the infrastructure.
  • There is no simpler or more effective way to build the connections and your social business fabric than creating conversation.
  • But sitting back and waiting for the world to involve your business in what they do is just no longer an option. Too often, they will just go off to the communities that have already engaged them and that will be that. "Experience share" is your new measure of success, meaning the amount of time that the world interacts with you socially.
  • As I said then, "communities exist to serve the needs of their members" and themselves second if they intend to have a successful long-term relationship, as in most human relationships.
  • Social business doesn't mean we throw open the doors to everything automatically as a public process either. But we are usually so far in the other direction that a step towards this is just the right medicine right now.
  • Social analytics, however, are already here and this story is about individuals anyway. If workers aren't measured by how effective they are at creating value on the network, they will just focus on what they are measured on to get their recognition, raises, and promotions. This is a complex subject that will often have very different ground rules for different organizations.
  • Do not use social channels for traditional push communication. Classic examples: Don't use online communities for distributing press releases, product literature, PR, or spokesperson canned messages.
  • Censorship kills participation. Nothing will stop a social business in its tracks faster than inappropriate censorship.
  • But nothing will remove you from the world of social businesses faster or more effectively. Honest, open conversation is always the better choice and is truly valuable in its own right. Respond to criticism constructively and quickly.
  • If you are working closely with customers, partners, employees using social tools (as well as people are potentially want to be in one of those three groups) the more you do it, the more it will seem as if there is one cohesive community.
  • Where one gets a paycheck and what organization's name is on a business card is less important than the fact that everyone is getting more value than if they were doing things in a non-social way.
  • Everyone involved in a social relationship must get something out of it or there's no reason for it.
  • Being social for it's own sake may generate downstream value accidentally but social businesses will often have a long list of intentional reasons they are being social.
  • There are almost certainly a lot more rules for social businesses, but we're still learning them.

8 Reasons Why Businesses Avoid Using Social Media | Penn Olson - 0 views

  •  
    You will probably find an increasing number of businesses putting their brand presence in social media sites. Several big brands (and also small brands) are using Twitter and Facebook to build relationships with their fan base. Conversely, there are also many businesses who are (very) skeptical about this whole idea. Are you that stubborn businessman who is unwilling to try new social media tools? If you are, you will most probably agree with the points below but look out for the counter-arguments!

How companies are benefiting from web 2.0: McKinsey Global Survey Results - 0 views

  • 69 percent of respondents report that their companies have gained measurable business benefits, including more innovative products and services, more effective marketing, better access to knowledge, lower cost of doing business, and higher revenues. Companies that made greater use of the technologies, the results show, report even greater benefits.
  • We found that successful companies not only tightly integrate Web 2.0 technologies with the work flows of their employees but also create a “networked company,” linking themselves with customers and suppliers through the use of Web 2.0 tools. Despite the current recession, respondents overwhelmingly say that they will continue to invest in Web 2.0.
  • When we asked respondents about the business benefits their companies have gained as a result of using Web 2.0 technologies, they most often report greater ability to share ideas; improved access to knowledge experts; and reduced costs of communications, travel, and operations. Many respondents also say Web 2.0 tools have decreased the time to market for products and have had the effect of improving employee satisfaction.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • Respondents also say they have been able to burnish their innovation skills, perhaps because their companies and customers jointly shape and cocreate products using Web 2.0 connections.
  • The median level of gains derived from internal Web 2.0 use ranged from a 10 percent improvement in operational costs to a 30 percent increase in the speed at which employees are able to tap outside experts.
  • Web 2.0 delivers benefits by multiplying the opportunities for collaboration and by allowing knowledge to spread more effectively. These benefits can accrue through companies’ use of automatic information feeds such as RSS2 or microblogs, of which Twitter is the most popular manifestation. Although many companies use a mix of tools, the survey shows that among all respondents deriving benefits, the more heavily used technologies are blogs, wikis, and podcasts—the same tools that are popular among consumers
  • Similarly, among those capturing benefits in their dealings with suppliers and partners, the tools of choice again are blogs, social networks, and video sharing. While respondents tell us that tapping expert knowledge from outside is their top priority, few report deploying prediction markets to harvest collective insights from these external networks.
  • Comparing respondents’ industries, those at high-technology companies are most likely to report measurable benefits from Web 2.0 across the board, followed by those at companies offering business, legal, and professional services
  • These survey results indicate that a different type of company may be emerging—one that makes intensive use of interactive technologies. This networked organization is characterized both by the internal integration of Web tools among employees, as well as use of the technologies to strengthen company ties with external stakeholders—customers and business partners.
  • As such, companies reporting business benefits also report high levels of Web 2.0 integration into employee workflows. They most often deploy three or more Web tools, and usage is high throughout these organizations
  • Respondents reporting measurable benefits say their companies, on average, have Web 2.0 interactions with 35 percent of their customers. These companies forged similar Web ties to 48 percent of their suppliers, partners, and outside experts. An organizational structure that’s more porous and networked may make companies more resilient and adaptive, sharpening their ability to access knowledge and thus innovate more effectively.
  • The survey results confirm that successful adoption requires that the use of these tools be integrated into the flow of users’ work (Exhibit 5). Furthermore, encouraging continuing use requires approaches other than the traditional financial or performance incentives deployed as motivational tools.
  • They also say role modeling—active Web use by executives—has been important for encouraging adoption internally.

Enterprise Web 2.0: Building the Next-Generation Workplace - the Driving Force behind J... - 0 views

  • Building on the somewhat vague and yet particular usage of the term 'Web 2.0', 'Enterprise Web 2.0' describes a fresh, and some would say new, approach to the design and provision of business applications that incorporates aspects such as social networking, collaboration, and real-time communication. In addition, Enterprise Web 2.0 focuses a great deal of attention on the user's 'experience' or 'joy of use' -- something of a novelty in enterprise IT these days. By comparison, when Butler Group talks about 'Enterprise 2.0', we are focusing on the composition and architecture of the IT ecosystem, and the associated business models that will support Enterprise Web 2.0 applications.
  • Enterprise Web 2.0 is very much concerned with the user experience of corporate systems and applications, and on extracting business value from the social contributions and interactions of the organisation's various stakeholders.
  • The management of customer relationships continues to remain pivotal for most organisations, and so the social aspects of Web 2.0 are mirrored in the corporate world of Enterprise Web 2.0
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Workforce mobility and changing communication patterns are two more trends that are driving change at the infrastructure layer, and so unified communication and collaboration requirements form an important part of Enterprise 2.0 strategy.
  • Enterprise Web 2.0 might be about putting the user (i.e. employee, customer, or stakeholder) first, but in order to do so it also requires supporting technology. And so at the IT infrastructure level, Enterprise 2.0 means Internet Protocol (IP) everywhere -- voice, video, and data. Enterprise 2.0 also means, 'open' standards rather than proprietary or 'closed' systems. Furthermore, Enterprise 2.0 technology means user-driven technology and not IT-driven technology.
  • Having accepted the fact that 'processes' means 'people', then we have to look for ways in which these people (i.e. processes) can self-organise and reference one another. Then, where possible, we need to somehow incapsulate the processes into a set of business services. One day (we might call it Web 3.0), Artificial Intelligence (AI) will enable organisations to do with computers that which they do via human beings today, but until that day arrives, organisations must do more to aid interdepartment and inter-company collaboration. Workflow has not yet figured largely in the consumer-oriented world of Web 2.0, but Butler Group sees this as pivotal when considering Enterprise Web 2.0.
  • Today applications that embody processes are built by IT professionals, but tomorrow they will be built by a new breed of power user, using mashup builders, software agents, and other Web 2.0 technologies.
  • Business and IT managers must therefore prepare themselves for the new generation of power user who will be creating mashups and situational applications that have a far broader impact than the typical spreadsheet macro of yesteryear, and that if organisations are to avoid a proliferation of unmanageable, siloed, micro-applications, then they must blend the power of personal productivity with an appropriate management layer and a degree of central oversight.
  • Web 2.0 is no longer PC-centric.
  • It is clearly a mistake to think that Web 2.0 is all about technology, and likewise Enterprise Web 2.0, but it is also a mistake to dismiss the technology altogether. Therefore, selecting and implementing enterprise social software solutions, next-generation collaboration solutions, and Rich Internet Applications requires careful thought, consideration, and planning.
  • The driving force behind just about every aspect of Enterprise Web 2.0, is of course, the user -- something that has not always ranked highly on the list of priorities for corporate IT mangers -- and so the challenge for all forward-looking organisations is to refocus on this aspect of their IT strategies.

Qu'est ce qu'une entreprise 2.0 fin 2010 ? - 7 views

  • Et là… la problématique est plus lourde. C’est d’ailleurs sur ces éléments qu’on constate les plus grands écarts générationnels (Attention je ne parle pas de génération Y). Nous avons d’un coté les jeunes qui contestent la hiérarchie ou la propriété auxquels ils n’ont pas accès et les anciens qui en sont dotés et pas tout à fait prêts à s’en défaire.
  • Une façon pour les jeunes de renverser la question et de ne pas demander le pouvoir mais le répartir de facto… Un sujet à creuser assurément, qui en dit long aussi sur la dimension symbolique que prennent les luttes actuelles
  • Prenons une entreprise qui propose des services « 2.0 ». Si on prend l’hypothèse qu’elle double son chiffre tous les ans (ce qui est déjà un signe de croissance exceptionnelle), qui commence avec 100K€ de chiffre d’affaire…elle pèse actuellement au mieux 0,8M euros… Moins que le chiffre d’affaire d’une brasserie ! Normal donc, que pour un grand compte, ces budgets « 2.0 » soient vus comme « faibles »… Mais faible, ne veut pas dire non stratégique.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Généralement les mêmes qui avaient tourné le dos au Web. Il faut bien comprendre que nombreuses sont les entreprises qui n’ont pas besoin de relais de croissance que ce soit par la situation économique ou un effet de « monopole ».
  • Ensuite, nombreuses sont les entreprises qui se sont lancées dans le 2.0 comme elles s ‘étaient ruées sur SecondLife. Pour faire bien. On retrouve ce type de projets dans les grands groupes qui s’essayent à des nouveaux concepts. Ce qui caractérise ces projets c’est le fait qu’ils ne sont pas en lien avec le business. L’exemple qui me vient à l’esprit est celui de rendre « 2.0 » une communauté visible… Cette Entreprise2.0 on l’aura compris n’a pas dépassé le stade d’intérêt poli des décideurs.
  • Il y a enfin ceux qui prennent ce concept en se posant la question simple « Qu’est ce que ce nouveau machin peut m’apporter à mon business ? ». Sans préjugés, ni arrières pensées et de sous un angle très pragmatique. Et là, le résultat est somme toute très différent. Car il est indéniable que les concepts du 2.0 (collaboration, temps réel, connexions des personnes, informations etc…)  sont de nature à faire progresser le business. Encore faut-il le démontrer ? Et c’est justement la bonne récolte 2010. Les premiers projets mis en place à dimension business donnent des résultats concrets : plus de ventes, plus de qualité dans la relation client etc…
  • L’entreprise 2.0 –en tout cas son concept papier –  vit sans doute ces derniers jours, au profit d’une nouvelle ère : l’irruption massive des réseaux sociaux dans le champ numérique de l’entreprise : depuis les entrepôts, jusqu’aux points de ventes en passant par les bureaux.

Understanding Zoho, the Quiet Company Taking on Google and Microsoft - CIO.com - Busine... - 0 views

  •  
    I don't fully agree with this analysis. I'm one of the first users of Zoho, and even if they were functionnally in advance, they had too much bugs to be used seriously for a real business. Google is working hard and they are on the path to be better than Zoho on a lot of modules, with the guarantee of quality of service. But I hope Zoho will have the energy and the financial background to compete with Google, because competition is the best driver for innovation.

5 Factors to Consider When Selecting Enterprise Social Tools - 0 views

  • Know what you want to achieve with your initiative. Social media tools can achieve a huge range of different tasks, from better internal collaboration to lead generation. What does your firm need to do?
  • Understand your organization’s culture and leadership. Social media won’t change an organization’s culture. Understanding the culture and leadership of your organization will have a huge impact on your requirements, choice of tool and how to implement and configure it.
  • Listen, watch, understand and interview or survey the constituent base that will be asked to participate in your social initiative. It’s important to figure out how your new social initiative will be received and used by the people you hope will utilize it. Make sure you have involvement and buy-in at an early stage, and understand your users’ needs.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Ensure that you have an effective resource and content plan in place to manage your community. Your new social software can enable an existing community or form new ones, but in order to be successful, communities need ongoing cultivation. Make sure that you have the resources and a plan in place to cultivate your community.
  • Initiate conversations with your legal, HR and IT teams early on, in order to understand the limitations and risks that may be associated with your initiative. As with any new business initiative, you should make sure that you understand the risks involved with implementing social software.

Entreprise 2.0 en 2011 : la valeur ou le déni ? - 3 views

  • Maintenant il y a loin des discours aux actes et tout dépendra de la capacité de l’entreprise 2.0 à sortir d’une forme de déni d’entreprise. Accepter de parler franchement de valeur, mettre les mains dans les sujets complexes et sensibles de la mécanique productive, sortir de la vision idéaliste et angélique d’une entreprise rêvée menée par la passion, l’ouverture et les bons sentiments seront des sujets clé en 2011.
  • C’est ce qu’il nomme la mise en capacité de l’organisation par la technologie (ou tech-enabled organization). Ce mode de fonctionnement étant rendu souhaitable, voire nécessaire, par la transformation des modes de travail induite par l’évolution de notre économie et des modèles de création de valeur, on a essayé d’implanter ces fameux outils dans l’entreprise. Souvent en vain. On s’est alors rendu compte (pour ceux qui en doutaient) que l’outil n’était qu’un facilitateur
  • il est devenu évident qu’il fallait s’attaquer en profondeur à la structure du travail et de l’organisation (voir mes “prédictions” 2009 et 2010), à la fois pour rendre les choses possibles et pour s’assurer du bénéfice de l’opération en termes de création de valeur. Ce qui a amené un certain consensus courant 2010 vers la nécessité de s’attaquer, entre autres, aux business process à la fois pour des raisons d’alignement et d’impact sur la valeur.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Récapitulons : • Prise de conscience qu’il faut s’attaquer aux rouages, à la mécanique de l’organisation • Prise de conscience qu’il faut articuler les dynamiques “hors flux” et “dans le flux” de travail (in the flow et above the flow pour les érudits). • Prise de conscience qu’il faut aller au delà des simples dynamiques communautaires. • Développement, par ailleurs, d’un grand savoir faire sur la mise en place de ces dynamiques communautaires. Soyons honnêtes : on a les best practices, des monceaux de méthodologie, des cas à foison et des outils pour supporter le tout. On sait faire fonctionner des communautés et ce qui donne le sentiment contraire, fait penser que la réussite dans ce domaine est rare, c’est qu’on veut transformer en communautés ce qui n’en n’est pas (d’où l’intérêt d’aller voir au delà…). • On a des outils qui tiennent la route.
  • N’avez vous pas remarqué que finalement peu de choses nouvelles vraiment intéressantes ont été dites ou écrites ces derniers mois (j’ai dit “peu”…pas “pas”) ? Qu’on pourrait republier nos billets d’il y a un an sans que personne ne s’en rende compte ? Deux reponses à cela : soit nous étions quelques visionnaires vraiment en avance…soit rien n’a changé. Et je penche plutôt pour la seconde solution.
  • La raison ? Le microcosme 2.0 se complait dans une forme d’angélisme fondé sur une sorte de “flower power management” qui aurait été de bon teint dans les années 70. Tout doit n’être qu’engagement volontaire, passion, démonstration, engouement. Le process c’est le vieux monde et c’est sale. La valeur et l’argent aussi. Le ROI n’en parlons pas. Il y a un point de basculement a passer, des choses à acter, une direction à prendre mais au delà du consensus mou il y a une gêne évidente. On rechigne a abandonner le territoire de l’entreprise confraternelle idéalisée pour mettre le bleu de chauffe et aller réparer la chaudière et la tuyauterie dans la salle des machines.
  • quelques tendances fortes pour 2011 :
  • 1°) Futile : Beaucoup de temps et d’énergie seront gaspillés à discuter les mérites respectifs de l’entreprise 2.0 et du social business. Ca évitera de parler d’autre chose et laissera les entreprises dans un doute encore plus profond qu’aujourd’hui.
  • 2°) Stratégique : soit l‘entreprise 2.0 reste dans le déni de réalité soit elle met les mains dans le cambouis. Dans le second cas on sera encore là pour parler du sujet dans un an ou deux, avec des résultats tangibles et mesurables, dans le premier les entreprises se seront lassées avant.
  • Avoir le courage de parler des sujets qui font peur : redéfinir le travail, la manière dont on évalue la contribution de chacun à la création de valeur, dont on rémunère les gens en fonction, trouver des indicateurs financiers et comptables pertinents pour rendre les modes de fonctionnement nouveaux acceptables.
  • Assumer le fait que soit on parle d’un projet stratégique d’entreprise qui doit s’imposer à tous, ce qui implique d’assumer ses choix et avoir le courage d’en tirer toutes les conséquences, soit on est dans le nice to have cosmétique et se demander si l’énergie et l’argent dépensés en valent la peine.
  • Et attendons à entendre des choses du genre “pour faire les malins avec des médias sociaux et avoir des discussions sympas y’a du monde, pour régler des vrais problèmes business y’a plus personne”. Et ça sera mérité.
  • On ne transformera pas l’essai tant que les “outils sociaux” constitueront une bulle à part, seront indépendants du reste des outils de l’entreprise. Devoir dire à un utilisateur : “rendez vous sur tel outil” c’est déjà perdre la partie.
  • intégration avec toute type d’outil du SI traditionnel et possibilité d’utiliser (et enrichir)les fonctionnalités de l’application en tant que services hors de l’application, au sein d’une couche sociale commune à l’ensemble du SI.
  • Une entreprise est une structure économique et sociale qui regroupe des moyens humains, matériels, immatériels (service) et financiers, qui sont combinés de manière organisée pour fournir des biens ou des services à des clients dans un environnement concurrentiel (le marché) ou non concurrentiel (le monopole) avec un objectif de rentabilité.
