Getting Real Value From Your Data: A Four-Layer Model for Turning Corporate Information and Knowledge Into Improved ROI
Overview The big promise of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Distributed Control System (DCS) vendors has been to improve operational efficiency through the standardization and automation of enterprise business processes on a large industry and geographic scale. For a while during the last two decades of the 20th century, the rapid DCS and ERP penetration of large industries brought on a wave of increased efficiency in the world economy. But when global business dynamics - driven by increased data volumes and changes in transaction infrastructures, decision patterns and performance criteria - began to shift from the status quo attitude of "Let things run by themselves," proactive planning and decision making took on greater importance as a way to adapt to change and gain competitive advantage.
