increments spread over time.
We believe that there are 4 key things that organizations require to unlock the business value of information for competitive advantage…and this is what Information On Demand is focused on.
Organizations need the ability to manage data and content over its lifecycle to reduce the costs associated with managing information, provide controlled accessibility, and address retention and compliance requirements
They must also be able to use data and content as part of the individual business processes and applications across the enterprise, optimizing the performance of applications and improving decision making…these first two requirements are addressed by data and content management capabilities.
Organizations then need to establish an accurate, trusted view of information across these different processes and applications to drive more consistent information across the enterprise and support analytic and other requirements to use information coming from different sources, whether it’s delivering a single view of customers, products, revenue, etc…and they need a “flexible” architecture that can leverage all of their existing investments…accurate, trusted information is established through information integration, data warehousing and master data management.
These first components had really been what our IOD story was addressing until recently…with the acquisition of Cognos, we are now providing our customers with the ability to leverage that trusted information to build their plans, understand how their business is performing, and focus on optimizing performance across the enterprise…and this is accomplished through business intelligence and performance management
These are the main capabilities required by organizations to unlock the business value of their information and the components that can enable organizations to make that happen, but the ultimate object our clients have is to drive better business outcomes. And that’s what we are focused on with all of these components…helping our clients improve customer and product profitability, provide increased financial risk insight for better business decisions, optimize the workforce and control labor costs, enable more dynamic supply chain management, and support multi-channel, event driven marketing initiatives.
And IBM provides the most complete, end-to-end capabilities for Information On Demand, with every component focused on helping customers optimize their business.
Organizations across various industries see functional leaders struggling with the same challenges. They are looking for more informed and better decision making and they want to see action once those decisions have been made.
Throughout these various departments in the organizations. The key to optimizing performance is buy improving decision making at all levels of the company. Team member must trust information at hand and focus on making more informed and better decisions.
Once these tactical and strategic decisions have been made it is equally important that they are put into action.
In these organizations, like all organizations everyone across the organizations is looking for ways to optimize their performance at the individual, team and organizational level. The people in these roles are faced with 3 common questions no matter what their role.
What is Happening?

(This script is for the next 3 slides. It will build gradually)
Let’s now look at some example of key Business Analytics capabilities that may be leveraged to answer these questions. There is not a one-to-one mapping between capabilities and questions. A number of capabilities are used to support all 3 questions.
Business users ask the question what is happening because they need immediate insights into business performance..
In order to properly understand the answers to this question, business users to need to have the ability to quickly measure and monitor the health of the business. They do this by leveraging key IBM Business Analytics capabilities.
Scorecarding helps you align your teams and tactics with strategy, communicate goals consistently and monitor performance against targets.
Business Dashboards communicate complex information quickly. They translate information from your various corporate systems and data into visually rich presentations using gauges, maps, charts and other graphical elements to show multiple results together.
Self-service Reporting enables business users to get the information they need quickly and easily without relying on IT.
Real Time Monitoring of key events via email alerts or through dynamic Web portal headlines.

Business Users ask the question “why” because they need to drill deeper on the initial status and analyze why things are on or off track.
In order to properly understand the answers to this question, business users to need to have the ability to quickly analyze the details. They do this by leveraging key IBM Business Analytics capabilities.
Ad Hoc Queries can be performed on the fly and can draw data from any data source or a combination of sources and be linked together in context or left as independent
Trend & Statistical Analysis enables the interactive exploration of information regardless of where the data is stored (online analytical processing (OLAP) and dimensionally modeled relational sources).
Content Analytics software enables companies to discover, refine, visualize and deliver new business insights through the analysis of unstructured content.

Business Users ask the question “what is likely to happen” because they need the foresight to intervene: allocate resources and set targets.
In order to properly understand the answers to this question, business users to need to have the ability to try and predict future acitivity. They do this by leveraging key IBM Business Analytics capabilities.
What if scenario planning to better understand potential outcomes
Predictive Modeling to generate prescriptive, real-time, pattern-based strategies within a situational context
Planning and Budgeting to improve visibility, insight and control over the levers of revenue, expense, capital, workforce and operational performance
Remember there is not a one-to-one mapping between capabilities and questions. A number of capabilities are used to support all 1, 2 or even all 3 of these questions depending on the Business Analytics requirement.

Decision makers need to make decisions and successfully act upon these decisions. As we have discussed the questions are usually similar across functions and roles.
1) What is happening?
2) Why?
3) What is likely to happen?
Finding answers to these three questions is relevant in every functional area of an organization in every industry.
When a Business Analytics solution can provide integrated capabilities as part of one solution, the value to the organization increases exponentially. Information -- and the decision-making impact it has when it’s delivered into the right hands leads to optimized business performance.
The wheel representation shows the simplistic view of performance management….each business function manages their decision areas, and they drive the 4 performance areas. But there is also an executive view….like what Les would be thinking about.
First, let’s go back to the point where we distinguished OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE from FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. While finance tracks and monitors the actual numbers for revenue, expenses and asset effectiveness, we are making a very specific distinction that “Revenue Management”, “Expense Management” and LT Asset Management are OPERATIONAL performance areas and that Cognos can provide solutions to help manage performance in operational areas. There IS a connection between the operational things a company does to manage revenue and the financial results, but it is not a specific calculation…..if I run this campaign I will get 3% more revenue…..it’s not that easy. Think of it as 2 sets of gauges….if I tweek the operational revenue drivers, it will have some impact on the financial results. Companies can use the trends in the operational performance measuring and monitoring as early warning signs of what to expect in future financial results.
