Can Information Technology deliver any real contribution
to performance improvement in your business? A relatively unexplored
and untapped
result of the dot-com explosion has been the impact of vastly improved “decision
support” tools at significantly lower costs being available
for small and medium business owners. Though pie in the sky to some,
General Electric has continued to thrive on its expert deployment
and use of what is know as “decision support” or “business
intelligence” solutions. Correlating closely with continuous
improvement, GE uses these types of solutions to improve virtually
EVERY aspect of each of their businesses.
What is exciting for small and medium business executives is how
so many software vendors have “scaled” both the “business
logic” and deployment approach as well as the software solutions
themselves to be in a position to offer value for smaller firms.
Now the model is in place to deliver high-impact, high-return solutions
for small and medium businesses through low-cost tools. What Prospera
has added to the mix is our ability to align tools, processes, key
questions, prescriptive analysis and strong project management and
accountability to arrive at truly revolutionary solutions for small
businesses.
