Business uncertainty is at an all-time high. As organizations react to changing consumer patterns and behaviors, priorities shift to accommodate increased e-commerce and digital sales, the need to build a more efficient supply chain, stricter demands around financial reporting accuracy, as well as overall customer experience. Domain-specific 360 solutions allow you to build resiliency and continuity by providing visibility into insights across the entire business.
Leaders recognize that data and analytics are critical to successfully navigating uncertainty and succeeding with digital transformation. Entering new circumstances, addressing new questions, identifying new patterns, and generating new insights rely on a foundation of trusted and complete data. With master data management and domain-specific 360-degree views, you can answer questions such as:
- What products are customers buying and through which channels?
- What is the available supply of those products?
- Can I get them or similar products from alternate suppliers?
- At what cost? And how quickly?
- What’s the impact of expedited shipping on profitability?
And with the increasing need for quick decision making and complexity of data in the Data 4.0 world, AI and machine learning can help automate and scale matching, consolidation, and cleansing of data, while also increasing productivity, reducing costs, and accelerating time to value.
