To a business, data is as valuable as, say, the commodity of water is to us as human beings. Data is a nourishing force for an enterprise, because it tells the business story – it reveals the vital secrets in a market and keeps the business alive by illuminating paths to the decisions that will take said organisation to better, more lucrative monthly outcomes.

Modern businesses are enjoying an automated state like never before. We’re spoiled for choice when it comes to systems that help us operate – enterprise resource planners (ERP), tools and a myriad of IT programmes that take the grunt work out of most of the mundane – but vital – tasks in the day-to-day running of a business. But, like with every good thing, there needs to be a balance struck when it comes to deploying these systems, in general, business-wide.

There are two iterations of the modern business right now – the one utilises the power of the cloud, and the other will have to soon, or possibly face stagnation in the market.

Markets the world over right now, have to be dynamic. They’re hubs of commerce feeding a society that’s hyperconnected, ready to buy now, and always with the expectation of quick turnarounds, smooth business journeys, and outstanding quality of service and product. It stands to reason, then, that the businesses that make up these markets need to be just as agile, adaptable and responsive in every departmental structure making up their processes and operations.

Modern, growing, successful businesses mostly have one thing in common – a wealth of industry information, process tracking and sales tracking records, and financial accounts, all available as real-time data, accessible to relevant stakeholders and at the fingertips of owners and executives.
