ABSTRACT

In today’s global economy, enterprises are challenged to do more with less in order to successfully compete with a host of competitors: big and small, new and old, domestic and international. With less people resources and less financial resources with which to operate and ever-growing volumes of data, enterprises need to better manage and leverage their information resources to operate more efficiently and effectively. This requires improved access to timely, accurate, and consistent data that can be easily shared with other team members, decision makers, and business partners.
