In this presentation we are talking about:

1.Your business

2.ERP system you (may) already have

3.BI system you most likely do not have yet

4.Increasing profit using both systems

Who knows the most about your business?● You.● Do you know:

> Which of your customers is about to leave you? Why? What should you do about it?

> Which ones are more likely to buy more?

> Which suppliers should you replace or re-negotiate with?

> If your customers realize how good your services are? All the time?

Do You Have an ERP System?

● If Yes:

1. It is designed for data entry and transaction not analysis2. Not all of your business rules fit in it3. Not designed to create heavily customized and automated reportingPair it with a BI (Data Analysis) system

● If No:

Built one alongside a BI (Data Analysis) system

What is your business trying to tell you...

>> If you are not happy with reports coming out of your system, it means your system

needs help to keep up with you

Why Do I need Two Systems?

The other, to help you plan and monitor its growth

(BI)

ERP and BI systems

How Do I get both systems?

● Document your manual processes● Separate your business rules:

– ERP: Operational rules (e.g shipping address is required)

– BI: Growth and profit rules (e.g is this customer a keeper or not?)

Data Analysis In Action

Correlation Analysis In Action

What you get out of it (1/2):

● Dashboards (not just for owners, but custom-tailored for each key positions in the company

What you get out of it (2/2):

● Just-in-Time alerts and notifications that are driven by your business rules, not some software vendor's guesses

When you take the time to analyze your data

● You know why things happen● You learn about your options● You discover cost „leaks“● You uncover revenue potentials

What about the Profit?

● Profit comes from lower cost, increased revenue, or both– Hidden expenses will lower profit– Unrealized revenue potentials will lower profit

● Both ERP and BI systems record and measure the „pulse“ of your business so you can detect those and do something about it
