6 Ways Disconnected Data is Harming Your Business
Yikes!
Disconnected data – What is it?
The spreadsheet that your warehouse manager has off to the side to track his inventory levels and expected shipments from your key suppliers.
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!
