The research, sponsored by technology providers Cognos and SAP, explored how businesses use scorecards, dashboards and performance alerts. The findings are based on an analysis of more than 590 validated respondents. The survey was conducted with the assistance of media partners that included BusinessIntelligence.com, BI Review, CRMAdvocate, Montgomery Research’s ASCET/ CRM Project/CFO Project, Questex’s ICCM, ITBusinessEdge, CMP’s Intelligent Enterprise, Reed Business’ Manufacturing.net, TechTarget’s SearchDataManagement.com, and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
Among the key research findings, Ventana Research determined that:
“This is groundbreaking research because of the importance of scorecards, dashboards and alerts in making businesses more efficient and effective,” said Colin Snow, vice president and research director – Operational Performance Management at Ventana Research. “The research shows what a huge opportunity is available for IT to provide more value for end users by providing timely information for decision making,” Snow added. “This is exciting research because we had a huge level of interest and participation from both large and mid-sized companies and it showed us results that companies can achieve when they do apply the right Performance Management technology.”
