We at Skywind are frequently being asked by potential prospects:
“How Skywind 4C™ is different from existing BI solutions?”
Well, the main difference is that Skywind 4C™ and BI solutions are answering on different questions. While BI systems answer mostly on the “How many/ How much?” types of questions, Skywind 4C™ provides much wider range of answers, on qualitative questions like: “What happened?”
Imagine a Business Bottleneck types of “What Happened?” events like:
- Billing Document is failed to be posted to Financial Accounting
- IDOC's based Billing process is failed (invoices are failed to be sent via EDI)
- Currencies update process that was scheduled to run at 04:00 AM did not run…
- Purchase Orders are pending approval for more than XX days
- Deliveries were not billed for more than XX days after actual goods issue
Those types of occurrences are not traceable by BI systems. Moreover, such events have to be pushed to a person responsible in a moment of their occurrence, which is regularly not supported by BI paradigm.
Providing laser focused, actionable data
about inconsistent or suspicious business events
in real time, is the main purpose of Skywind 4C™
Business Bottlenecks package.
