Bookings, Billings, and Backlog: Managing Operational Performance for Financial Success
Overview Bookings, Billings, and Backlog (BBB) information is the lifeblood of any organization that manufactures and ships products. But BBB information can be difficult to gather, analyze, and report. Using spreadsheets is a cumbersome, error-prone approach that doesn't provide flexible analytical views of performance, and transaction systems that collect and store data offer limited reporting capabilities. Manufacturers can now use an emerging set of best practices to enhance their BBB reporting. These best practices focus on improving the way data is collected, increasing executive support for projects, ensuring data quality, and applying technology wisely. Business Intelligence (BI) technology can promise a significant Return On Investment (ROI) to companies that desire to take a closer look at BBB performance.
