processes. They are unable to pinpoint leading
and lagging parts of the business quickly, and
they lack a single, consistent view of information
across functions. This leads to time wasted gath-
ering information.
“What they really want is a cross-functional
view that combines metrics from different parts
of the business, such as sales and manufactur-
ing or HR and customer service,” Rodwick says.
“Yet, while they need to access data efficiently
from many source systems, extracting data can
be next to impossible.”
To make sure that they can take advantage
of all the data at their disposal, companies have
turned to Oracle data warehouse, business
intelligence (BI), and enterprise performance
management (EPM) software that helps them
structure strategic, financial, and operational
management processes.
Oracle provides a complete, integrated, and
open stack of data warehouse, BI, and EPM
