Data is as critical to your business as ingredients are to cooking. For example, it’s almost impossible to find food that doesn’t contain wheat, because it’s a critical component in so many of the things we eat. But flour is good for nothing on its own—it doesn’t burn or give you heat, you don’t eat …
Last week at the Eloqua Experience conference, I was shocked at the stats confronting businesses. Two-thirds of CMOs believe marketing ROI will be their top effectiveness measurement by 2015. Effective use of sales intelligence increases revenue productivity per sales rep by 17%. 90% of the data in the world today was created in the last …
Manual reporting is expensive, not to mention frustrating. It can cost a typical company $79K per year and that's conservative, IMHO. For other companies, it can cost much much more. Check our infographic on the cost of manual reporting and see if you can relate …
I loved this recent post on The Data Doghouse, which underscores why "spreadsheets from hell" are still the most pervasive BI tool for business users. Last year's TDWI study on Visual Reporting agrees. That survey found that nearly two-thirds of BI users are …
I dig summer. To me, summer means grilling and baseball, and believe it or not, I am going to tie those together about how we talk data in business. One summer day in the early 1980's, with Africa's "Toto" emanating from the Audiovox stereo in the family room, I made the mistake of …
The first 90 days. We all focus on this chunk of time in different ways, but the end is always the same. We judge ourselves against this measure of time – how we are doing in a new job, how the semester went, how did the diet go, how did the fiscal quarter end …
With any good 12-step program, admitting there's a problem is … well, you know. But when it comes to business intelligence, sometimes that admission is hard to come by …
I am 35 years old and I have never had a massage. Crazy? Maybe. I like to think I know what I am doing. The fact of the matter is I am quite certain I would love the experience, but I don't want to "need" the experience to the tune of $50-$100/month. I know friends …
A few days ago, Daren my boss and CTO of Domo called an afternoon meeting with all of his directs. This is not an uncommon event but this meeting had a twist. Daren had just returned from a business trip in New York where he had also squeezed in a visit to his beloved Yankee stadium. The twist is …
There's a lot of gravity in business sometimes. Take reporting. Every job requires some measure of reporting – and although the process we use today might be manual, tedious and time-consuming, we often stick with it because it's comfortable and we assume that a better solution will be too expensive, too complex or even too successful …
