6 Ways Disconnected Data is Harming Your Business

Yikes!

Disconnected data – What is it?

no​ The spreadsheet that your warehouse manager has off to the side to track his inventory levels and expected shipments from your key suppliers.

no The email orders from your dealer portal waiting to be manually keyed into your ERP. 

Disconnected data is a set of information stored separately from the main system that is used to run your business (your ERP system). The data is valuable and lack of visibility to that data creates problems throughout the organization. Far more than you realize.

A 2023 study by enterprise automation provider Snaplogic and Vanson Bourne researchers showed the following:

  • A quarter (25%) believe that disconnected data is causing the development of new
    products or services to be too slow, leaving them trailing behind competitors
  • Over six in ten (61%) are finding projects being constantly delayed by slow data
    integration
  • Nine in ten (90%) business users are required to complete tasks at work that they find
    boring and repetitive
  • Respondents are spending 32 minutes a day, on average, moving data from one system
    to another, equating to 19 working days per year

Yikes!

Here is an article that I came across on LinkedIn that spells out the 6 ways disconnected data could be harming your business: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/inefficient-workflow-management-impact-disconnected-software-systems/

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Happy New Year! January is always a great time to reflect on the prior year – what went well, and what didn’t. It is also the obvious time to plan for the coming year – what do I want to accomplish and how can I best achieve my goals?

As the saying goes, “you can’t improve what you can’t measure”, so if you haven’t already, it is time to start putting processes, procedures and programs in place within your company to measure how well each department is doing against their objectives. Start to analyze your numbers and publish them internally. Where are you at currently? Where do you want to be? Seeing both sets of numbers pushes employees to hit those targets. Do this now, and you’ll be seeing positive results before you know it!
