How to close the gap by managing
huge volumes of data
by Meryl K. Evans, Editor, Connected Digest
Data grows within an enterprise
at the rate of 125 percent per year according to studies from Gartner and other
companies. Add channels to that, and the number soars. How does a company cope
with more channels on top of its need for faster and predictive analysis? And
with such massive data coming into an enterprise, how can managers analyze the
data to inform strategic and tactical business decisions? Is it even possible to
consider doing analytics in real time?
Future decision-making ... Process homeruns ... Getting nothing done ...
In the last issue, we looked at forecasting the business future with Intel's Predictive Enterprise vision. Now that you have miles of data coming in, how do you use it to make decisions? This month's feature story explores business intelligence in a Predictive Enterprise.
Documenting processes can help an organization stay on track, but what if no one does it? You've heard this before, but it is especially true for processes — process improvement is a journey, not a destination. See what our readers recommend.

How do you like the newsletter? As much as getting a brand new gadget? Or is it like dealing with a PC when you’re used to a Mac™?

This Issue's Dilemma
Help! I need more time!
Since it's impossible to add another hour to the 24-hour day, I need an alternative. How can I find time to do all the things I need to complete at work? No doubt, many managers/supervisors deal with this challenge. How have you overcome the "I can't get everything done" syndrome?

How do you survive the process of
updating the process?
As IT department manager, I'm
frustrated by the way different departments work with IT. Currently, we're
trying to help a VP or manager get another department's procedure tuned up to
support our needs. Unfortunately, that department takes too long processing
paperwork and slows down the entire process. When the department staff needs
service, it takes forever for us to get started based on their current way of
working. How do you update other department processes without going above
people's heads? Or do we just have to put up with this?
It's the central myth of the modern workplace: With a few compromises, you can
have it all. But it's all wrong, and it's making us crazy. Here's how to have a
life anyway.
It's said that every company is a customer
service company, and that every company is a technology company. In the future,
everyone just might be in the broadcasting business.
