Powerful businesses understand this and spend a lot of energy to optimise the transaction process on a holistic level. Think of it this way, a business without transactions is a dead business. A business with many transactions is alive and most likely healthy. We call it the data game. The aim of the game is to increase the speed at which data (a.k.a. transactions) is generated and moves in your business from person to person or team to team. There are 2 sides of data: 1) Capturing it 2) Reviewing it It is important to structure and setup your people, processes and systems in such a way that data moves fluently and consistently. With more business' data at hand you can generate richer reports and business intelligence which will improve your business' decision making abilities as it is more factually based. Consider a pilot. He can only make sound decisions if he is fed with sound data through his/her instruments, communication and the dashboard. The same applies to you and your management team who are the pilots of your business. At MyBI our mission is to help businesses using Pastel Partner and Xpress to grow through enhanced business insights and optimised data handling.
