Business Matters

In a survey of 400 IT and business decision makers at large enterprises in the U.S. and Europe, 97% of respondents said that their organizations had room for improvement when it comes to being data-driven.

 

More disturbingly, 88% of respondents said that they couldn't always access the data they needed to do their jobs.

Organizations are struggling with data.

It said, “A worldwide survey of 196 organizations by Gartner showed that 91% of organizations have not yet reached a 'transformational' level of maturity in data and analytics, despite this area being a number one investment priority for CIOs in recent years.”

 

TOP-10 obstacles:

  1. Separate Systems for Real-Time and Historical Data

  2. Lack of Data Sharing

  3. Data Ownership

  4. Data Silos

  5. Search

  6. Too Much Data

  7. Separate Systems for Storage and Analysis

  8. Lack of Centralized Data Storage

  9. Data Stored in Incorrect Systems

  10. Improperly labeled Data

 
We at Yamanu would call the above data-related issues which, unfortunately, represent only a fraction of the real problem(s).

The second cluster of issues for example are local documents, usually distributed via email, which adds another "dimension of dung" to the mix. Harsh words, I know. The same cluster includes sticky- or any other notes flying around, that someone might have to act on.

A third cluster of problems are related to processes. There are real-world processes and micro-processes, hidden, implicit and who knows what things are going on. The trouble with this is

The main reason for this: even IF processes have been thoroughly analyzed, documented and partially implemented up until now software was not able to follow real-world processes adequatley. Users needed to adapt to the delivered software. And even IF some local implementation succeeded, things usually never fit.

 

A way out

Yamanu is able to solve any of the above problems and furthermore, adapts to teams and users - not the other way around.

In organizations change does not (and should not) happen overnight. Nor should any of the valuable, hard earned process designs and knowledge taken away. 

Within this context, consider Yamanu as "Enterprise add-on". Glue to fill the gaps, aggregate access and streamline information handling, improve current user interfaces and communication. Over time Yamanu adapts to your Users, Processes and Systems alike, naturally.

Eventually, newly adapted UIs and optimized processes take over, and old things can finally fade away.
