’80s, when I personally experienced the transition from written time cards to cards for swiping on a time clock at a grocery retailer I worked at, I have been interested in the software and technology of workforce management. That gives me a perspective not many analysts can match when it comes to transitioning to new technology to help organizations manage and engage workforces. Ventana Research recently completed benchmark research on next-generation workforce management, covering technologies for worker and manager environments and operations. While the research found only 10 percent of organizations at the highest level of overall maturity, which we call Innovative, we did find organizations beginning to deploy and use new workforce management technologies. While we did not distinguish in our research between hourly and salaried employees, the majority of organizations were time-clock-based organizations using technology to manage the nuances of scheduling and working with hourly-based workforces. The research investigated a range of technologies that are changing the way businesses operate today, including analytics, collaboration, cloud computing, mobile technology and social media. Each of these plays a key role for workforce management, and sometimes in a combinatory fashion, as happens for example when workers collaborate using smartphone mobile technology or where workforce management and analytics operates in a cloud computing environment. Our research found that collaboration (70%) was the most important technology for workforce management, with analytics (68%) right behind it. Priorities can vary based on the maturity and readiness of an organization, but having ways for workers, managers and management to collaborate can drive businesses toward a more open and productive workplace. Organizations are pretty pragmatic when it comes to workforce management, with a large number (63%) focused on the demand for higher productivity. Many also realize the importance of improving inconsistent execution (48%) and scattered information (44%), which both result from not using dedicated applications for workforce management. Clearly the opportunity to improve is significant, but many organizations still use personal productivity tools such as spreadsheets. We found 92 percent of organizations use them universally, yet almost half (42%) find the use of spreadsheets makes it difficult to manage a workforce. More than half of organizations see assigning goals and tasks to workers (56%) as the top needed capability, followed by providing communication to resolve issues (52%). The demand for more easily defining and assigning tasks has led to a new generation of applications that let managers routinely work with their workers more directly. At the worker level, providing the basics like access to company and work information (75%), accessing training and learning classes (67%) and collaboration with others on best practices (63%) are the most important features that organizations need in their workforce management applications. When it comes to improvement, many organizations (45%) are looking for new applications to increase productivity and drive better results. Even with the new generation of time clocks that have biometric or proximity check-in to providing information back to the workforce, from notifications to information on a new policy, there is a lot of change underway. Almost half (41%) of organizations plan to examine new technology. This mood for change and improvement extends to analytics, which almost two-thirds (61%) plan to improve over the next year. But analytics have to be available for all roles and provide not just a picture of the past but also what might happen in the future with current workers’ activities and schedules. Since collaboration was the most important technology we identified for workforce management, we investigated the most important methods for future deployments in the organization. Our research found discussion forums (30%), broadcasting like Twitter (29%), application sharing (28%) and wall posting into activity streams like Facebook (27%) are the top priorities. We also found collaboration has been the most engaging when workers use mobile technology such as smartphones and tablets. Tablets have the most potential for expanding into existing and new deployments, according to 34 percent of organizations. Smartphones, while already used in two-thirds (67%) of organizations, are slated for expansion in a quarter (26%). This expansion in mobile and collaboration features indicates a new level of priority for the next generation of workforce management. It should be no surprise that having usable applications and technology for workforce management is critical; our research found that usability was the most important technology consideration (81%). But to get that technology, setting the business case is essential, as justifying a budget for investment (63%) is the largest challenge. Organizations that plan to upgrade or examine new applications and technologies should prioritize their needs for workforce management, considering roles of management, operations, managers and workers, and consider which methods can increase productivity and drive better results. The goal should be to address the needs of the existing and also a new generation of workers that wants to engage and use the latest technologies (mobile, social and collaborative) in their workplace.

The first covered the high-level issues. As I noted there, it’s not necessary for a CEO of a company to be able to write Java code or master the intricacies of an ERP or sales compensation application. However, CEOs must grasp the basics of IT just as they must understand basic corporate finance, the production process and – at least at a high level – the technologies that support that process. This installment is about four supporting technologies that will be drive considerable change in business computing over the next five years. Each of these subjects is worthy of a chapter-length discussion or even a book; what follows is the “elevator pitch” version. The cloud is a general term for computing capability that is not physically located on a company’s premises and that is purchased as a service, typically for a monthly charge. The name comes from the use of a cloud shape to represent the Internet in network diagrams. The two types of cloud computing that businesses typically purchase are software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS). The former typically allows a company to access application software and a database. Companies can use PaaS as a means to create a custom application without having to invest in and manage the underlying hardware and software or provisioning the hosting capabilities needed to run and manage the application on their premises. Cloud computing is a hot topic because it has been reshaping – and will continue to reshape – information technology and how business uses it. The cloud gives users more options for how, where and when to engage technology and information. It is transforming how users interact with computing devices – the so-called consumerization of business computing. It is altering the economics of selling and consuming computing power, applications, intellectual property and information. In so doing, it’s enabling new business models, new products, improved business processes and making a greater range of business relationships practical. And, as such, it’s making some existing business models and methods obsolete. Unfortunately for executives, too little of the discussion of cloud computing to date has focused on business value and promoting better understanding of where cloud computing is – and is not – the right choice. Instead, the discussion has been dominated by marketing agendas and techies debating the finer points of technology, which only promotes confusion. Our benchmark research into business data in the cloud confirms that companies achieve cost savings and process efficiency by adopting cloud computing, and that these are major reasons why companies use this technology. Moreover, for many midsize and smaller companies, applications in the cloud can provide more sophisticated computing capabilities than they could afford in an on-premises deployment. Two notable examples are ERP systems and internal call centers as an alternative to outsourcing this important function. Cloud computing is not about to replace traditional on-premises deployments, which still can be the best approach. But cloud computing creates opportunities and threats that CEOs and all senior executives need to understand so they are able to make the right decisions for their companies. Big data is a term that begs the question, “How big is big?” The answer is: any data set so large and complex that it’s difficult or impossible to process it with existing tools in a reasonable amount of time. There are three dimensions to big: volume (the number of bytes), velocity (the speed with which data must be moved) and variety (the number of types of data). Big data has become an issue because businesses are generating an accelerating amount of usable information, and even more useful information exists outside of a company’s walls than within it. At the same time, data processing systems no longer limit organizations to using mainly (or only) structured data; that is, the type that exists in formal databases. Advanced techniques make it possible to mine social media to gauge sentiment or parse audio files to rapidly uncover unhappy customers. Industrial data from sensors in machinery and at every point along a supply chain gives organizations greater insight into ways to improve efficiency and respond faster to changing environmental and business conditions. Our big data benchmark research found the top benefit for the technology, cited by three-fourths of organizations (74%), is to allowing companies to retain and analyze more data. Big data can be an important resource for companies, but it’s equally important to recognize the importance of good data management practices. Failure to institute appropriate practices simply results in “big garbage in, big garbage out.” In-memory databases and processing use main memory rather than hard drives for data storage, which enables much faster response times. In-memory computing can make analytical applications much more interactive in working with very large data sets, which in turn enables analysts in every part of the business to work faster and smarter. According to our benchmark research in-memory technology is fast becoming mainstream. It is already being used in one-third of organizations and another 17 percent plan to deploy it within 18 months. In-memory is also at the heart of complex event processing (CEP), which can be used by sales, marketing and customer service to identify and make sense of information collected in disparate systems in order to enhance market responsiveness. In financial services, CEP already supports sophisticated algorithmic trading strategies and risk management. Executives also can benefit from in-memory computing, because it can transform a monthly budget review into a much more collaborative, interactive and forward-looking activity. Instead of focusing mainly on past events, organizations can make changes to forecasts, examine the impact of alternative future actions and immediately see how the changes affect revenues, expenses, cash flow and the balance sheet. Most companies don’t do that already because with systems that use disk storage, it can take minutes, hours, days or even weeks to get answers back from even a straightforward business question. Mobile devices have grown in importance since the introduction of the first Compaq Portable PC in 1983. Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets have become pervasive in business computing. According to our recent business technology innovation benchmark it is the third most important area for technology innovation after analytics and collaboration. Today, people walk around with powerful computing devices in the form of tablets and smartphones, which enables more people to interact with business computing systems anytime and anywhere. They eliminate the barriers to smoother operations that exist when people have to get back to their desks to get information, execute a process, pass along information or make a decision. Mobile computing is especially important for front-office workers in areas such as sales and field service, because these individuals are often mobile, out of the office and beyond the firewall. It’s also valuable for executives, because these individuals often manage by walking around. Being able to summon up data or charts in the middle of a conversation and perform analyses makes any discussion and decision-making more fact-based and rigorous. CEOs and senior executives must have a basic understanding of these four core technologies and how they will affect each part of their businesses. Everyone running a company must find the time to better understand and manage the information technology dimension of their business. Over the past 60-odd years, IT has grown in its importance to the daily functioning of a business, and increasingly has become a means of competitive differentiation. IT is a major element (and in some companies the major component) of capital spending. Technology continues to advance, bringing threats and opportunities. CEOs must stay on top of how IT can serve their businesses.

One of the main user events was Sapphire NOW in Madrid earlier this month. From reports that I have seen, it seems that customers at that conference were far from convinced – and if customers are not convinced then prospects are likely to be even less convinced. At the beginning of the year Ventana Research predicated six things would impact how companies procure software: collaboration, mobility, analytics, cloud computing, social media and big data. On the surface, SAP 360 Customer ticks all these boxes, so to some degree I sympathize with the SAP executives who were left baffled by the negative customer reaction. Others providers have got there before SAP, and I suspect that after several false starts by the company, many customers are skeptical that everything will work out this time. Earlier this year I carried out benchmark research in adoption of the contact center in the cloud where I broke the systems into three groups: communications, business applications and analytics. The results showed companies have adopted more business applications in the cloud than the other two categories. CRM is by far the most advanced business application that has been adopted in the cloud, with the way being led by Salesforce.com. It has convinced the market that the cloud is the only way forward, and Salesforce is now the vendor others have to match up to. Salesforce.com’s Service Cloud has already demonstrated success in CRM, cloud, collaboration, mobility and analytics; others have to run to catch up. In contrast, the SAP 360 Customer messaging is heavily weighted toward performance and how HANA delivers CRM at the speed of light. HANA allows companies to run CRM in memory, and it thus works extremely fast. While this is important, I don’t find that technology turns business users on. Does it really matter if it takes one or five seconds for users to get a response from their CRM systems? Where accessing customer information quickly becomes critical is during customer interactions. Even though more interactions are being carried out electronically, customers in the main want answers to questions in real time, and the information they need in all probability comes from multiple sources. So fast data access is not just a CRM issue, it is a system-wide issue and an analytics issues, because employees need to know information about customers and the outcome of interactions as soon as possible, so they can raise alerts if further action is needed – for example to prevent negative comments on social media or stop the customer defecting to the competition. As I understand it closer links are planned with SAP’s Business Communication Management systems, which could have a major impact on interaction handling and the customer experience. SAP says its products deliver a 360-degree view of the customer, something I know from experience companies have long craved, but that my research into customer relationship maturity shows only 31 percent companies have achieved which represents more mature organizations. Here the challenge is the number sources and formats (structured, unstructured, events) companies have for customer data. Unless an application can access, process and analyze all of these then it will fall short. SAP is making a lot of claims about SAP 360 Customer: Improved marketing, sales and service capabilities More granular customer segmentation capabilities, supporting marketing, sales and service and allowing improved personalization of responses Many capabilities accessible through smart mobile devices supporting both mobile workers and customers Better, faster available predictive customer-related analytics All in the cloud If these claims all can be delivered to customers, then they would indeed add up to a major advance in CRM. I feel, like many of the customers in Madrid, that we will have to wait and see how this initiative plays out with customers and prospects. I will be keeping a close eye on developments over the coming months to see how successful SAP will be in providing its customers the critical applications and technology to fulfill on this mission of providing a 360-degree view of a customer.

One clear pattern that has emerged is the difficulty that using desktop spreadsheets imposes on the process. Ventana Research recently published findings from our trends in business planning benchmark research, and the research once again confirms this observation. It shows that companies that use dedicated applications are consistently more satisfied (and much less dissatisfied) with the software they use than users of spreadsheets. Twice as many said their third-party planning application performs very well in financial and cash-flow forecasting. While one-third (32%) said their dedicated application performs the complex task of compensation planning very well, just 7 percent of spreadsheet users say so. Dedicated applications also have capabilities that spreadsheets lack; those include easily integrating data from multiple systems, drilling down on demand to understand the underlying causes of variances in reviews and performing extensive what-if planning. All of these enable more accurate planning. It’s frustrating to see that so many companies continue to use desktop spreadsheets as their main tool for planning in all parts of the enterprise. A large majority (69%) of business units rely on them, either exclusively (22%) or in conjunction with other applications such as ERP (47%); only about one-fourth (26%) use a dedicated planning application developed in-house or by a third party. Spreadsheets are too cumbersome and problematic to be useful in collaborative enterprise-wide efforts; half of the research participants (49%) acknowledge that spreadsheets make it difficult to manage planning processes. This response varied with the size of the company, ranging from 60 percent of the very large ones (with 10,000 or more employees) saying there’s a problem to just 35 percent of small businesses. One reason for the disparity is that smaller businesses are far less complex from a modeling, data collection, analysis and reporting standpoint. Another is that smaller businesses can get by with much less in the way of formal planning mechanisms because communications between decision makers are can be much more direct. The research also revealed a strong connection between effective planning and the information and technology used to achieve it: Organizations that can drill down on demand to understand the underlying causes of variances in reviews are able to plan more accurately. Those that can readily access supporting data during review meetings and those that use dedicated applications instead of spreadsheets have more accurate plans and budgets. Companies that can easily integrate data from multiple systems have more accurate plans. Companies that use dedicated applications find it easier to do extensive what-if planning. You can read more of my observations on our overall findings and on what’s wrong with budgeting elsewhere in my blog. Information technology by itself will not create a mature planning environment. But the benchmark research once again confirms that without capable software, it’s unlikely a company will make meaningful improvements in its ability to use planning as a management tool. Desktop spreadsheets are extremely useful for accounting (the term “spreadsheet” originally referred to a piece of paper used to present bookkeeping information), for performing ad-hoc analytics and one-off reports and for maintaining simple databases. Because they are so good for some purposes, users often make the mistake of using them for everything. Yet they suffer from several inherent defects that make standalone spreadsheets the wrong tool for any collaborative, repetitive, enterprise-wide function such as planning. They lack referential integrity, which is why it is difficult even for proficient users to combine multiple plan submissions. The more participants, the more difficult it is to wrangle the mass of data into an accurate consolidated view. Once combined, it’s impossible to unscramble the omelet to drill back down into the underlying detail. Spreadsheets are two-dimensional grids, so it’s harder to show scenarios with more than few dimensions in presenting plans, results and results versus plans. Pivot tables can take you only so far, and working with them consumes a great deal of time. Unless designers put a great deal of thought into constructing a spreadsheet, users will find it tough to make global changes to assumptions. Even then, in the process of hard-wiring these global assumptions into a spreadsheet you can wind up with a brittle model that is difficult to adjust as conditions and requirements evolve over time. Dedicated applications today often combine the best of both worlds by using Microsoft Excel as an interface. Users get to work with a familiar tool, but behind it lies a real database and enterprise application capabilities such as workflow management and sophisticated reporting features. Integrating planning across business units enables a company to plan with coordination and visibility. Changing from a spreadsheet-based process should enable a company to shorten the time required to produce plans and budgets. It makes it easier to adopt rolling quarters planning and forecasting and to execute faster plan revision cycles. The right software can facilitate an organization’s ability to drill down into underlying details and use that deeper understanding to explore a wider range of responses to changing business conditions. It can transform a monthly review session into a monthly dialog about future directions that ensures that everyone is on the same page. What should companies look for in replacing desktop spreadsheets? Our Financial Performance Management (FPM) Value Index assesses FPM suite vendors’ offerings in part on their ability to support planning and budgeting. We look at a long list of capabilities in this type of software, and in budgeting and planning applications generally. Some of the most important include: Budgeting capabilities such as scenario management, automated spreading and trend analysis Planning capabilities that can support unit-times-rate structures, driver-based planning and goal seeking/sensitivity analysis Administrative capabilities such as automated workflows and notifications A central data store for easy data access Built-in analytical capabilities, including easy manipulation of core business dimensions such as time, organizational structure, product families and currency, to name some of the most common Built-in reporting and data visualization capabilities The planning and budgeting software category is a crowded one, and companies have many options today. Some are specifically designed for midsize and small organizations, while others scale to thousands of users. As with shoes, it’s important to choose the right size or use becomes painful. Companies can choose to have the software installed in a conventional on-premises configuration or in the cloud in software-as-a-service (SaaS) mode. With so many options that are affordable for a wide range of companies, it’s a shame that so many organizations still use spreadsheets and limit the business value of their planning activities. I strongly recommend that senior executives of companies that use desktop spreadsheets for these activities consider the value that better planning can deliver.

It is an interesting mix of products that covers call, email, chat, SMS, social media management and routing from a universal queue, a new social media product that routes social media posts to agents and provides the interface through which agents can respond. It offers some WFO capabilities, such as call recording, quality monitoring and workforce management, along with a new tool set that allows companies to build mobile customer service apps and a suite of reporting and analytics tools. Companies can choose to deploy as many of these applications as they require, adding more at a later date based on business demands to build a solution that meets the organization’s business requirements. mplSystems provides services to work with customers on these type of projects. Based on user case studies, companies can rapidly build solutions that meet business and user expectations. The resulting systems can then be deployed on the customer’s premises or can be hosted in the MPL Aurora cloud and accessed through the public Internet or a private cloud. The latter option allows companies not only to choose functionality on a needs basis but also to scale the number of users based on demand. The system can be integrated with existing PBX or ACD systems, allowing companies to continue to gain value from existing systems. It includes integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM so that companies can embed a softphone in user screens, simplifying the process of handling calls while providing access to required customer information. The system integrates communications management and WFO, the two core components required to support multichannel contact center operations. Another key component is intelligentDesktop, a smart desktop web interface that companies can build by dragging and dropping components to offer any or all of the other functionality to employees handling interactions. This is unique way to custom-integrate capabilities. My recent research into the agent desktop shows that an appropriately customized desktop can make a vital difference to the customer experience. Mature companies have found it makes agents’ lives easier, allows them to support more types of interactions and communication channels, makes them happier and thus leads to improved customer experience and better performance against key customer metrics (and average handling time goes down as well). The final product in mplSystems’ portfolio provides field service management, allowing companies to better manage their field service engineers. intelligentMobile is available as a mobile app, allowing integration with key smartphone capabilities such as maps and location intelligence and providing capabilities for service engineers to manage tasks through their phones. Although designed with field service in mind, from what I saw companies could use intelligentMobile to management other customer-related tasks. mplSystems is not a globally recognized contact center provider, but it now has more than a thousand customers in 10 countries. Its portfolio of products is different from that of most companies I cover, and its integration of interaction management, WFO and the desktop is especially interesting. I recommend companies that want to support multiskilled employees handling multiple types of interactions and communication channels take a serious look at mplSystems as they seek to improve interaction handling and the customer experience.

My fascination with cooking the books started when I was young with the “great salad oil swindle”, which wound up causing losses in excess of $1 billion in today’s money and even threatened a Wall Street collapse. This disaster was averted by the assassination of President Kennedy, which kept markets closed on Monday, November 25, 1963, and gave the parties involved an extra day to resolve the matter. Nowadays I look forward to receiving FIRST, a compendium prepared by IBM’s Risk Analytics group of the previous month’s financial shenanigans. So, the recent Hewlett-Packard-Autonomy imbroglio fascinates me. HP’s current management says “serious accounting improprieties” on the part of Autonomy have cost it $5 billion as part of an overall charge of $8.8 billion taken in the company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and articulated by HP CEO, Meg Whitman. HP asserts that Autonomy accelerated revenue recognition and misconstrued lower-margin hardware sales as higher-margin software business, and the related hardware cost was classified as marketing expense. This kind of revenue misrepresentation can begin small but ultimately mushroom; it puts companies on what auditors like to call a slippery slope of having to deal with ever-mounting shortfalls. It can start when management wants to believe that a permanent change in the business (say, some unfavorable trend in demand or pricing) is simply a one-time anomaly. Misclassifying hardware revenue as software licenses, labeling cost of sales as an operating expense, would not have had an impact on reported earnings (since the aggregate debits and credits are unaffected) but could have an impact on the valuation of the company. This would be the case if the practice was used to disguise shortfalls in license revenue that would have led to a drop in the company’s share price or was intended to show faster growth in the more attractive software license revenue category. Lynn Turner, once the chief accountant at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), was quoted as being puzzled as to how $200 million of disputed revenues is connected to the $5 billion number. Well, it’s through the magic of a revenue multiplier used to justify an acquisition price. One of the lessons I’ve learned about situations like this one is not to jump to too many conclusions if you suspect you don’t have all of the facts. It's not entirely clear how a public company that had its financial statements audited annually committed fraud in an acquisition process. At the same time, I’m not naïve enough to think it's impossible or even improbable. Indeed, it’s not as if Autonomy’s accounting policies went unquestioned when it was a public company. The Center for Financial Research and Analysis (CFRA) published multiple notes from 2001 to 2010 pointing to what it believed were dodgy accounting and disclosure practices. In my career I witnessed accounting by British listed firms that would have been hooted down in the U.S. but that were accepted by British markets. It’s also true that CFRA is not the final word. It has had its share of false positives in the past, where its red flags have proved not be serious issues. At the same time, I don’t think you have to be too much of skeptic to regard this as a political maneuver on the part of Meg Whitman, who gains a great deal by taking some of the sting out of a poorly conceived acquisition by blaming it on fraud. Although she was not running the company when the decision was made, she was a member of the board. It may have been an astute move from the standpoint of internal politics, but whether it was a smart decision is questionable since it tarnishes the Autonomy brand and does not enhance HP’s. For those of you on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) bandwagon, consider this: It would have been much harder for Autonomy to have mischaracterized revenues under US-GAAP. Indeed, one of the sticking points in converging IFRS and US-GAAP is the subject of revenue recognition. As the result of multiple software company accounting scandals, the U.S. has the most specific rules governing the timing and treatment of sales revenues. Being more principles-based, IFRS is more concerned with the overall appearance. In theory, that shouldn’t make a difference. However, U.S.-based auditors are more likely to flyspeck revenue treatment decisions because of their very precise revenue recognition rules. I suppose, on the bright side, HP will have a success story of how it was able to use its own eDiscovery software (which came with the Autonomy acquisition) to digest tons of email and documents for evidence of fraud. For now, the bottom line for me is that the Autonomy accounting irregularities could be very real but are at the same time a fig leaf for the write-offs associated with a bad acquisition. Internal and public auditors are bound to learn a host of lessons. And the affair is bound to give those on the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board evidence for keeping US-GAAP separate from IFRS, even as the two systems converge on most accounting matters.

To address these issues, Informatica has introduced two new offerings. In the area of big data, much effort is spent on storing and accessing data using tools such as Hadoop, data appliances and in-memory computing. Informatica has announced Informatica PowerCenter Big Data Edition, schedule to ship in December, to help companies deal with large volumes of transactional and interactional data employed to promote efficient business processes and satisfy informational needs. The new release works with Hadoop, which our big data benchmark research shows is one the top planned big data technologies in 32 percent of organizations. Hadoop has been a labor-intensive technology to deploy, with hand-coding of scripts and interfaces common. PowerCenter will support Hadoop visually as it does other sources of data, and support profiling of data in Hadoop to help analysts understand where data can be used in the enterprise, then parse it for inclusion in processes. In a world where our Hadoop and information management benchmark found that 71 percent of organizations need to train staff for big data projects, PowerCenter will make it easier to support Hadoop in a production environment. Informatica’s largest challenge is to ensure PowerCenter is seen by the Hadoop and developer community as easy to access and adopt, given the high price Informatica is charging. To do this, Informatica will need to provide more examples of resource and time savings to show organizations that it is not smart to continue manually developing scripts and custom-coding Hadoop. To address cloud computing, Informatica’s Cloud Winter 2013 release will support master data management to help ensure consistency of data across applications in the cloud. The software will also integrate with any enterprise-level MDM and data governance processes that use Informatica. Ensuring the quality and governing the use of data are key activities for more than three-quarters of organizations in our business data in the cloud benchmark research. Informatica has introduced a wizard to facilitate the steps to ensuring consistency in data definitions and apply MDM to cloud computing processes, and has made advancements in hierarchy management. To ensure consistency in addresses, it has integrated AddressDoctor to help connect with cloud computing applications such as Salesforce.com. Informatica also crowd sources its community the improvements that matter most to community members, leading to improvements on lookups, custom parameters and integration templates. Informatica will also introduce new cloud computing integration connectors, including ones for Workday, Marketo and Concur, which are in their own segments important applications with data that needs to be integrated and used across broader business processes. Probably just as important is the continued growth of the Informatica Marketplace, which provides further connectors and templates. Informatica has also made it easier to integrate applications and manage integration jobs – tasks that are growing in importance as the skill sets of accessing and integrating cloud-based data sources become more critical. Informatica could make is easier to understand how to connect these cloud computing environments by line of business areas, where for example the efficiency of marketing and sales processes depends on a range of applications in the cloud and from on-premises providers. There are dozens of cloud computing providers across each line of business, and Informatica could offer a bounty or reward for anyone who brings an integration template to the marketplace first. Having such templates available would make it easier to know how easy integration would be in a specific line of business; if nothing is available, the company and its users should be able to make a request to the marketplace and community for what is needed. Informatica continues to expand its PowerCenter platform to help organizations support distributed information management operations. This should be a top priority for all CIOs who spend too little of their time, budget and resources on the information component of their titles. I like what Informatica has done to automate and improve the use Hadoop and big data. Our firm awarded Informatica the 2012 Ventana Research Technology Innovation Award for Information Management for its expansion of data management and operations to include the use of Hadoop. Informatica focuses on addressing the obstacles to information management, which in turn helps address the staffing and training issues that are found in more than half of organizations according to our information management benchmark research. Today, when data may be created and housed anywhere but needs to integrate across business processes, the use of data integration software to support information management saves time and resources and meets a variety of needs. Informatica has expanded its portfolio to support big data and cloud computing efforts. Organizations should step up and look at its software more closely.

Tableau has taken a “land and expand” strategy that drives what they call the democratization of analytics within organizations. Tableau has enjoyed first mover advantage in the area of exploratory analytics called visual discovery, a growing type of business analytics that allows companies to easily visualize data in a descriptive manner, but the company is facing competition as deep-pocket companies such as IBM, SAP and others become more aggressive in the space. Tableau’s big advantages are that its software is easy to use, can access many data sources, and lacks the complexity of a traditional OLAP cube, which necessitates predefined schemas, materialized views and pre-aggregation of data. Our next-generation business intelligence benchmark research finds that usability is the most critical criterion in the choice of next-generation BI tools, and in usability, Tableau is an industry juggernaut. The company’s VizQL technology obviates the need for an analyst to understand technologies like SQL, and instead lets users explore data from multiple sources using drag-and-drop, point-and-click and pinch-and-tap techniques. No code, no complexity. With Tableau’s 8.0 release, code-named the Kraken, currently in beta, the story gets more compelling. The Kraken takes the software beyond the business user and into the IT department – the home of BI giants. New ease–of-use features such as better infographics, text justification and rich text formatting got applause at Tableau’s customer conference in San Diego earlier this month, where Tableau announced three specific features that help equip it for battle with traditional BI vendors. The first is the ability to author, customize and share reports through a browser interface. This brings much of the functionality that was available only on Tableau Desktop to the Tableau Server environment. It gives users anywhere, anytime access, and increases manageability within the environment. Visualizations can be shared through a link, then picked up by another author in an iterative and collaborative process. Administrators can make sure dashboard proliferation doesn’t overwhelm users. One big advancement is Tableau’s ability to embed its software in other companies’ portals or web applications through a JavaScript API. Many companies should pick up on this advancement to partner with Tableau to embed analytics into their applications. Our research shows that the market has yet to decide how next-generation BI will be delivered, with approximately even splits between those expecting it to go through a BI application (38%), end-user application (34%) and office productivity suite (36%). Anecdotally, we are seeing an uptick in embedded BI arrangements, such as Workday embedding Datameer and Kronos embedding MicroStrategy. Given Tableau’s visualization sophistication, I anticipate it will get a lot of traction here. Tableau announced support for Salesforce.com and Google Analytics at the conference. The Google move was soon extended to include Google’s BigQuery, which is based on Google’s Dremel real-time distributed query technology, which works in conjunction with Google’s MapReduce. Cloudera recently announced a similar approach to big-data ad-hoc analytics with its Impala initiative, and it chose Tableau as the first company to integrate. These partnerships say a lot about Tableau’s potential partnering power, which I anticipate will become a more important part of the company’s overall strategy. While the conference announcements were extensive, and in many ways impressive, the battle for the hearts and minds of both IT departments and business users still remains. Tableau comes from the business side, and it remains to be seen is how powerful the usability argument is in the face of the risk and compliance issues that face IT. Tableau may encounter resistance as it moves closer to the IT department in order to enable multidepartment rollouts. IT often has long-term relationships with large software providers, and these providers are now bringing their own tools to market. These include such tools as SAP’s Visual Intelligence (a.k.a. Visi), and IBM Cognos Insight, which I recently blogged about. In many ways it is easier for IT to convince business to use these tools than for business users to make that argument to IT. The outcome of the battle depends on how quickly companies like SAP and IBM can catch up. Tableau says its R&D as a percentage is much higher than that of its competitors, but the question is whether that percentage is big enough to compete with the deep pockets of competitors that surround it. My assumption is that competitors will ultimately catch up, and then its ultimate success will come down to how large a footprint Tableau has established and the loyalty of its user base. In sum, Tableau has an impressive offering, and the 8.0 beta release is another step forward. The company is advancing a new era of interactive visual discovery of data. Its partnerships and links to multiple data sources make it difficult to ignore in the business intelligence space. The advancements mentioned above as well as Tableau’s focus on things such as cohort analytics and quasi-experimental design approaches gives the company a fair amount of runway with respect to core analytics in the organization. However, it needs to start putting more statistical prowess into the application, starting with basic descriptive statistics, including significance testing such as t-test and chi-squared tests. While it is great to have cool pictures and graphs, if users cannot find real differences in the data, the software’s value is limited. Also, in order to meet its ambition of truly democratizing analytics, it needs to build out or embed basic analytic training modules. This will be key in getting from the What of the data to the So What of the data. Addressing this skills gap, as I wrote about in a blog post earlier this year, is one of the most important areas of focus for companies and suppliers playing in the analytics space. Suppliers that focus only on the tools themselves and ignore data sources and people aspects will see diminishing returns. Tableau is well on its way into IT departments with its latest advancements, but it still needs to better address things such as write-back, data management and higher-level analytics if it hopes to compete with broader BI portfolios. Competitors in this market are not standing still; they are beginning to morph into more operation-oriented analytical systems. Business users and departments considering exploratory analytics tools for their companies should definitely consider Tableau. For IT departments with broader responsibility, Tableau is also worth a look. Tableau is a leader in this emerging space, and with its continued investment in R&D, its strengthening partnerships, and a singular focus on bringing analytics to the business populous, it is addressing many core analytics needs within today’s organization. Tableau is an important company to watch.

Our benchmark research on business analytics in 2012 found that the majority of analysts in organizations spend more of their time on data-related activities than on analytic tasks, and our 2013 research on business technology innovation finds little improvement. At the same time, organizations are dissatisfied with trying to gain insight from dashboards of charts; see “The Pathetic State of Dashboards”. The worst thing wrong with business analytics today is that we are not able to read them quickly to determine what is relevant and what insights might demand action. A company called Narrative Science aims to change that with new technology that can analyze data to create human-readable narratives in text form. Just like reading the cover page of the Wall Street Journal with text and a supporting chart, Narrative Science has developed the software to create these narratives from the data. The platform, called Quill, provides consistent form and depth in the text that is originated from the data and analytics that could be sourced from reports, spreadsheets, data files or databases. Using an expert systems approach, Narrative Science identifies data and facts, determines and prioritizes relevant elements and places them in a text structure. This approach changes the paradigm in how analytics are consumed by business management and managers. I recently visited the company’s Chicago headquarters to get some perspective on the origins and advancements of its technology. I found a team very focused on how to use data and analytic processing techniques to present the right depth of information – that which can be read easily yet offer meaningful insights. Operating beyond the traditional business intelligence software market and approaching the needs of people from what they should be able to read has provided Narrative Science a fresh approach to what they offer in Quill. I put Narrative Science’s technology to the test by providing the company some data from our latest benchmark research on technology innovation to see how it would work against a semistructured set of data and analytics. It created an intelligent narrative on a specific question that let me read and understand what was in the research. I included this episode in my keynote presentation at our recent Business Technology Innovation Summit to indicate how technology is advancing business analytics in ways beyond just the power of big data or the depth of analytic processing. This example is just one of hundreds of scenarios that Narrative Science could address with their software. Narrative Science’s largest business challenge is prioritizing where to focus its efforts. It has a large market opportunity, and the company needs to grow its foundation of business processes to support a range of customers. It will likely require further capitalization for expansion, since the technology can be used in so many areas of focus. From an analytic process perspective, intelligent discovery using data to determine correlation and causation is no easy feat, let alone determining how to create the proper form of text output that can be read in a logical narrative and paragraph form. Narrative Science will need to provide the right level of controls with Quill to ensure that the software can handle large numbers of users and large volumes of data while generating meaningful documents that can created, distributed and read. Technically the product is easy to use but ensuring that it can make easily accessible the information from an on-demand or delivery perspective is critical for its future. Business professionals should also be able to train it on templates that describe the data and utilize cloud computing to handle the processing needed and make the results available on smartphones and tablets. Despite these challenges which can be overcome, the company seems poised for growth. Customers can use its technology to make their workforce smarter at using analytics and data. Ventana Research was so impressed with Quill that we awarded Narrative Science our 2012 Technology Innovation Award for Business Analytics. The technology addresses the usability challenge in business analytics, which our research found to be the highest in importance for organizations selecting analytics technology. Of course the technology does presume that people must be able to read, but that should be an easier skill to find than the ability to eyeball pie charts and bar charts to tease out any issues in the visualizations, or trying to find the facts that matter the most. It is not often that we see significant advancements in technology for business, but with Quill, Narrative Science has the potential to change the way organizations use and consume business analytics as information. It also could make sense of big data by bringing to the surface useful information. I look forward to seeing how Narrative Science makes Quill more easily available to digest the many existing data streams in organizations and transition today’s fixation with charts and dashboards to a narrative of insights.

I noted that its acquisition trail wasn’t over and that it was in the process of acquiring Zeacom. Although not quite evident from the Zeacom website, that deal is now done and Zeacom is part of Enghouse Interactive. This means that Enghouse Interactive now has three major contact center products, so it was good to catch up with a Zeacom executive to learn more about how Zeacom fits in with Enghouse Interactive’s overall portfolio. One of the primary drivers for the acquisition is likely to benefit both customers and Enghouse Interactive. As it originated in New Zealand, to date Zeacom’s main success has been in that market. The acquisition will accelerate its growth into the world market and give customers in the region better support for the other Enghouse Interactive systems. Companies that are committed to Microsoft Lync for unified communications will especially benefit as Zeacom has a contact center product that closely integrates with Lync. According to the executive I spoke to, sales of Lync are going well, and this is leading to an increasing number of Lync distributors signing up with Zeacom so they can provide integrated contact center systems. My recent benchmark research into the use of unified agent desktop systems shows that collaboration is increasingly being recognized by companies as an enabler of improved interaction handling, so I believe Zeacom has a bright future in the market. From a purely functional point of view, Enghouse Interactive’s three products have considerable overlap, as they all support multichannel interaction management. The big difference is the target market for each product. The Contact Center: Enterprise product (formerly CIM) is aimed at the big enterprise center, Contact Center: Cloud (formerly Cosmocom) is largely for major telecom service providers that want to support outsource contact center service, and Zeacom is aimed more at the midsize center. As time goes by there will no doubt be some cross-sharing of new developments, and various components from each of the products will find themselves integrated with the others. As I said before, I think the major challenge for Enghouse Interactive will be to properly support all three products, both technically and functionally, so they remain competitive in the marketplace. If it achieves this, it will be able to offer a strong portfolio of products that companies should consider as they look to improve interaction handling. Regards, Richard J.

It is both funny and sad to see how the technology industry is still fairly insulated from the use of social media channels such as Twitter. More organizations still ignore social media than embrace and use it to advance their agendas. It’s obvious how important social media is in streaming news and entertainment information, and startling how it has toppled political leaders. Despite its obvious power, many in the technology industry see it as a distraction for anything beyond basic promotion of a press release or live-blogging their conference. Many industry analysts completely ignore it as not part of their job description. Some technology suppliers surface news and information on a regular basis across Twitter but do little to build community and dialogue about their brands or showcase the satisfaction and success of their customers. Few technology suppliers are actually trying to listen and understand their buyers’ conversations on social media, let alone interact. For most vendors, it is a struggle to find any roster of marketing or product professionals using social media; I typically have to Google their names or see if their social media information is on their LinkedIn profile. When I inquire about an individual’s or team’s use of social media, the standard reply is that it is not for them, and is beyond their age range or generational dialogue. Some representatives of technology vendors profess their embracing of social media for their products, but individually do not engage in it themselves. Even individuals in corporate communications supporting public and analyst relations seldom monitor or read information on Twitter; they fail to use it as an advantage to stay on top of conversations that impact their brands and products. All of that is just lame. Anyone can participate in multiple social media channels through the use of applications such Flipboard on iPhone and iPad devices, which can take Twitter feeds, or activity stream updates from Facebook or LinkedIn, and make them easily to flip through with a stroke of the finger. Or just using TweetDeck is pretty darn simple. I find many IT industry analysts from firms such as Gartner, Forrester and IDC regard the professional use of social media as some futuristic activity. Twitter has been operating since 2006 and now has 500 million users; it is clearly a well-established tool to gain leverage in the IT industry. This lack of analyst engagement is unfortunate; you should not be a technology analyst in this day and age without embracing and interacting via social media. To not use this communication medium is to deny the value of individuals who are conversing on any given technology and its use in the industry. But maybe I should not be surprised, considering that many IT analysts do not even use a computer at technology events to keep track of key points that one would think would be critical to include in any analysis of a technology vendor’s announcements and products. Why does this all matter to you? Analysis and opinions of technology industry analysts are critical information sources. If an industry analyst is listening to only a select set of IT organizations and individuals and not using social media, then that analyst’s opinions and views are sheltered. Many industry analysts would respond that to criticism by saying they do not have the time. I would tell them I am sorry if you do not think you have time, but if you are responsible for analyzing technology in this industry or are promoting your brand or technology and do not use social media, you might want to reconsider your profession. Though Twitter is well-established, the use of social media in the technology industry seems to still be in the infancy stage. The opportunity to raise the intellectual level of our profession and communicate more broadly with technology buyers and users should be a requirement for every analyst, and not just an activity of the more progressive segment. Agree? Disagree? If you have feedback, drop me a comment on Twitter @marksmithvr and let’s continue to advance the kind of dialogue that will help all of us advance the technology industry.

This location was fitting, since at the event we introduced and presented our first-ever Technology Innovation Awards and seventh annual Leadership Awards. If you did not get a chance to attend, we have the live webstream available for replay at no cost; thanks to Splunk for sponsoring this to let everyone enjoy the sessions. At our summit we discussed best practices organizations can employ to save time and resources when using technology across business processes. We also unveiled a series of new research studies on business technology innovation, next-generation business intelligence, integrated business planning, next-generation workforce management and customer service agent desktop. Our firm has strived for ten years to present research based on business and IT facts, rather than projecting analyst opinions based on handfuls of inquiries from IT-specific clients. We rely on primary research across business and IT as the foundation for our analysis and guidance, while most industry analyst firms provide opinions that do not represent the business priorities of organizations, because they research only IT. We continue to see the varying priorities of business and IT through our research, even where the alignment is not obvious. In our recent research on technology innovation, for instance, we found the number one factor driving change across business and IT is a business improvement initiative (60%) – and if you are not researching business, you cannot understand the dynamics of what organizations are doing to prioritize and select technology for business. The importance of independent research that covers business and IT is essential. I recently wrote about the skewed research in our industry and provided analysis about the misinformation on the projections that CMOs will outspend CIOs in technology. These situations point out the sad state of the technology analyst industry, which needs to do some serious self-policing of its actions and behavior. At our summit I was glad to bring forward some truth about technology innovation and the priorities of business and IT. Our new business technology innovation benchmark research uncovered some stark realities about what factors are most important for organizations to consider in technology in order to improve productivity and performance. Our research found analytics to be the top-ranked priority (39%), followed by collaboration (16%), mobile technology (15%), cloud computing (13%), big data (11%) and social media (11%). Organizations are using these critical technologies to improve results, and business improvement is the top factor driving change when businesses assess new technology. Many organizations are still working to address the largest barrier in taking on new technology, which is lack of resources (51%). I want to thanks the sponsors of the summit: IBM and SAP at the vanguard level, Ceridian and Datawatch at the pioneer level, and Peoplefluent, Planview and Saba at the ground-breaker level. I also thank the clients who over the last decade supported our mission to provide quality research and education to the industry. We also could not do this without the help of the partners who have helped us promote and syndicate our research. I thank everyone who has supported our mission to conduct research across business and IT in an independent and objective manner and provide facts and education to help advance businesses’ use of technology and gain the most value in the shortest period of time. I look forward to the next decade, and to continuing to deliver the most direct research and educational value to the market to help everyone use technology to its fullest value.

In today’s competitive markets, none of these is an easy task. As I look across four of my research projects – customer experience management, customer feedback management, and customer relationship maturity – I see several issues: Organizations have a mass of customer-related data. An increasing amount of this is unstructured – call recordings, paper-based communications, text messages, IM scripts, CRM notes and social media posts, for example. Indeed, my research shows that 26 percent of companies have 20-plus sources of customer-related data. As a result, most companies don’t have a single view of their customers; my research shows that only 31 percent have such a view. Consumers now want – demand – to interact with organizations through an increasing number of channels – everything from face-to-face to phone calls, letters, email, customer portals, text messages, chat, video calls, and social media posts and forums. My research shows companies support an average of five channels, and the number is going up – as indeed is the overall volume of interactions with each new channel, adding to the total volume rather reducing the volume through existing channels. In a quest to answer more interactions the first time, organizations are getting more “experts” involved, so interactions are being handled by almost every business unit in an organization. Companies are collecting feedback from customers, but it is collected by different business units, and only 34 percent respond to every customer. Most companies are on social media, but few have yet to use it to provide customer service. Most don’t systematically analyze what consumers are saying about them on social media, and even if they do, they don’t have formalized processes for responding. All these together add up to a major issue for companies as they look to improve the customer experience and make it consistent across all touch points, human and electronic. I believe the approach to solving this issue is increased collaboration – breaking down the barriers between business units, having processes that flow across business units, synchronizing data, sharing information, and having a customer experience strategy that is driven from the top, across the organization. To help address these issues, my research into customer experience management shows that organizations are beginning to introduce roles such as chief customer officer or customer experience manager. Having someone in such a role helps companies develop a cross-business-unit strategy, but many large and midsize organizations also need to use technology to support these efforts. The good news is that several technologies are available to help: Unified communication allows individuals to quickly find experts who can help them resolve issues, and provides capabilities to share data and information. Internal Facebook-style applications allow groups to share information and collaborate on issues. Social CRM applications allow organizations to communicate with customers through the social channels of their choice, and to create forums where customers and the organization can share information and resolve issues. Social media analytics can capture data from social media, analyze it, and provide organizations a view into what consumers are saying about their products and services. Smart desktop technology allows organizations to build a desktop that make it more intuitive for any user to access the systems and information they need to resolve issues, and to collaborate with other users. Mobile applications offer the opportunity for customers to serve themselves and to more easily interact with agents to resolve issues. Many of these tools are now available in the cloud, making them more accessible, affordable and easier to implement and use. Even so, not all of them will suit all organizations. I recommend organizations step back, look at how they want to interact with customers and improve those experiences, develop a cross-organization and -communication channel strategy, then put in place technology and processes that allow the organization to collaborate internally and with customers.

The divide has remained a constant impediment since the dawn of business computing six decades ago. It’s not necessary for a CEO of a company to be able to write Java code or master the intricacies of an ERP or sales compensation application. However, that CEO must master the basics of IT just as he must understand basic corporate finance, the production process and – at least at a high level – the technologies that support that process. Only a handful of business schools give prospective MBAs a good grounding in the practical elements of information technology or preach the necessity of mastering an understanding of IT as they would, say, the efficient market hypothesis. CEOs and other senior executives (such as the heads of sales, finance and manufacturing, to name three) by necessity have limited time to spend on understanding the opportunities and challenges in using IT strategically. They likely rely on their CIO or IT consultants for this. However, I think every senior executive must know certain essential aspects of IT. This post, the first in a series, will briefly cover the overarching approach to IT. Later posts will discuss important supporting technologies and today’s essential software categories. Each of these subjects is worthy of a chapter-length discussion or indeed a book; what follows is the “elevator pitch” version. The most essential overarching question a senior executive needs to ask is, “How strategic should IT be to my company?” I think the answer depends on several considerations. One such consideration, the strategic importance of IT to a particular industry, is essentially a given. If market leaders are innovative in the use of IT to drive and support many or all aspects of the business (such as marketing, sales, production, logistics and product development, to name some of the more common ones), it’s likely that every company in the same business will at least need to match these capabilities. If no clear leader uses IT for differentiation, another consideration is what opportunities exist to employ information technology in any aspect of the business to gain a competitive advantage. A third consideration is the attitude of executives and the board of directors to IT. If the culture of a company is dismissive of the value of IT, then it’s unlikely that IT can play a major role until and unless there is a change in attitude. It may not be enough that a market leader owes its position to better use of IT, and that an outside consultant has identified how to address gaps in the use of IT to enhance competitiveness. If the executives believe the company’s success rests solely on, say, superior merchandizing or advanced production, and that IT is just some tool for recording the details, it’s unlikely they will do much more than go through the motions of embracing information technology as a strategic tool. Companies get the IT departments they deserve. CEOs who think IT is unimportant probably cannot attract or retain top-shelf IT talent, who go where they are most appreciated. The matter of how to use IT strategically in the business is a question that every senior executive must consider formally at least annually and optimally on a quarterly basis. This consideration needn’t go into a great deal of depth or require a multi-day offsite gathering. An hour or so to consider what’s possible and to delegate followups should be sufficient. A consistent, periodic approach produces better results than an ad-hoc one. While high-level strategy is the most basic overarching issue, managing the low-level details is not far behind. Effective data management is a core capability almost as important as the ability to manage cash (either the physical stuff or the bank balances). Our research consistently shows that managing data is a challenge for companies, and the magnitude of the challenge multiplies with the size of the organization. Data management is critical regardless of where a company decides to put IT on the strategic scale. One reason why companies find it challenging is that few pay sufficient attention to managing it, and it’s nobody’s responsibility. Nobody wants to do it because it’s a very dull job. However, someone in the IT organization, not just the CIO, must have responsibility for data management, someone must establish performance metrics for it and the company must fund efforts to improve it. A third overarching need is having someone with a good grasp both the business and information technology to bridge the business/IT divide. This individual should lead a cross-functional group that sets the direction of the strategy for using IT to improve corporate competitiveness and performance. It’s hard to say who this individual might be because in my experience it’s hard to find someone who understands both business and IT in sufficient depth. It might be the CIO if that individual understands the business end. It could be someone in a more junior position in finance or marketing or some other role. Taking the role of facilitator could be a career-building step for them. However, this is not a full-time position and it should not be treated as one. The company may consider bringing in an outside consultant, but if it does, that person should have no vested interest in actually implementing something, since those people have their own agendas and are more likely to focus on their areas of self-interest. Separating the guiding and assessing from the implementing and doing may seem inefficient or an invitation to pie-in-the-sky solutions, but it probably will save money, and whoever a company hires should demonstrate a flair for the practical. These are the three overarching issues that each CEO should formally address on an ongoing basis with respect to his company’s use of IT. If they are not already doing so, everyone running a company needs to carve out time from their already overloaded schedules to better understand and manage the information technology dimension of their business. Over the past 60-odd years, IT has grown in its importance to the daily functioning of a business and increasingly has become a means of competitive differentiation. Technology continues to advance, bringing threats and opportunities. CEOs must stay on top of how IT can serve their businesses.

Though it has been in the headlines frequently in recent weeks, can Microsoft really change the mobile technology dynamics in the business world? In the last three years the mobile technology market has changed completely. The dominance of Research in Motion (RIM) and Microsoft has been usurped by the vertical innovation of Apple, with its iPhone and iPad, and the openness of Google’s Android ecosystem. This reversal of dominance shows that consumers can dictate what technology platform will rule not just the consumer ecosystem but also the business environment. Over the last decade Microsoft has lost its edge in mobile technology and lost the confidence of not just consumers but also retailers and telecommunication carriers who expended significant effort to provide the Microsoft option to customers. This leaves Microsoft with a last chance to rebuild trust with Windows 8, which operates across a range of mobile technology offerings, including the recently released Surface tablet and a new Windows Phone operating system and devices. Microsoft hopes that a new user experience that involves the use of tiles to get quick access to information and applications will mean an advantage for Windows in the mobile environment. This big bet has yet to be proven in the market. We recently conducted benchmark research on technology innovation to determine the value, priority and benefits of new technology for business and IT. We found mobile technology to be one of the top three priorities. While many companies (46%) have used mobile technology for business for more than a year, most (63%) still only have a small set of the applications and information available for mobile devices. Organizations prefer native applications (39%), but the access via web browser (33%) is right behind, and a fifth of organizations have no preference. These facts all impact Microsoft as it attempts to catch up to other mobile brands. One way to measure the success of a mobile platform is the commitment by third-party software developers to provide a range of applications and services to meet business needs. While Microsoft is rapidly moving to provide applications and services for the consumer market, its support for business applications is less than stellar. It hopes that support for a common Windows 8 operating system will make it easier to get the support from business software providers. Don’t take my word for it – visit the Microsoft application store for its Windows Phone and business applications and start looking for applications to support marketing, sales, customer service, human resources, operations and other departments. Names like IBM, Oracle, SAP, Salesforce.com and dozens of others are missing. Then visit the Apple App Store and compare the results. My interactions with more than a hundred software providers finds a significant level of pessimism about Microsoft’s mobile efforts, which is why the company’s platform is on the bottom of the list of development priorities. Most organizations are taking a wait-and-see approach to determine whether the consumer markets embrace Microsoft’s new offerings. Consumer preference matters because many organizations are transitioning to a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) approach, where companies provide a list of devices they support to access business applications and information in the enterprise. Companies today most often purchase smartphones (58%) for their employees, but that is less so with tablets (43%). Tablet deployments are growing (34%) but remain far behind smartphone use in organizations (85%). This BYOD approach is what Apple did to influence what now is an overwhelming support of its mobile technology in business. Whether this leaves an opportunity for Microsoft depends on business and IT preferences and how individuals influence decisions inside of businesses. Individuals in organizations do have preference for specific smartphone technologies. Our research found Apple (50%) is first, with Android and RIM way behind and Microsoft’s presence insignificant. In tablets, Apple’s iPad dominates (66%), Android comes second, and Microsoft (8%) lags. Apple and Android have more applications, and have provided seamless upgrades and software revisions on a range of devices over multiple years. Apple and Android have not required updates to the underlying technology in new devices – an approach that has historically plagued Microsoft and frustrated customers who lacked enough computing power or memory to operate new mobile releases. In past years Microsoft’s attempts to dominate the mobile technology market required not just a great processor but significant storage and memory to operate its environment. Historically Microsoft has been beholden to technology manufacturers who failed to adequately power mobile technology to meet its environment’s demands. Meanwhile, business use of mobile technology is growing rapidly thanks to the significant benefits it provides. Organizations see better communication and knowledge-sharing (62%) and faster response to opportunities and threats (39%). Organizations that have not deployed mobile technology have concerns about security (47%) and the risk of providing access through technologies for which they lack skills and competencies. Our research into next-generation workforce management and sales applications and technology shows the demand for mobile technology is a priority for businesses because it can increase productivity and help workers complete daily activities and tasks. Microsoft has taken some bold steps with introduction of the new Windows 8 interface, which uses tiles and eliminates the Start menu. Having to learn a new interface is to some extent a barrier to adoption, but Microsoft is right to focus on usability, which is the top evaluation priority according to our benchmark research into business technology innovation. Miracles have happened in the technology industry, but history, including the rise of Apple mobile technology, shows that market share and confidence build gradually over time and with consistent delivery of improvements to the technology that are easy to use and simple to get access to from the technology. Microsoft will need to do more than just provide a common Windows environment across devices to gain the confidence and trust of buyers. It will take a serious commitment to mobile technology over time to build trust, in the face of fierce competition from Apple and Android, with their own advancements in devices and operating environments. I look forward to seeing whether Microsoft can defy reality and the research on the business climate and trends in the market and gain enough adoption by consumers to make its mobile technology a priority within organizations.

If you’re old enough, you may recall President Carter’s failed attempt to use something called zero-based budgeting to impose discipline in federal outlays. (In his first year in office the federal government reported a whopping $54 billion deficit.) Some complaining is almost inevitable, but some reflects the one-way nature of the process. People spend time on creating a budget and don’t feel they get enough back from their time spent. I’ve been studying the issue for 15 years. Six years ago I coined the term “integrated business planning” (IBP) to cover a different approach to planning and budgeting, which I summarized in a recent blog post. IBP is designed to address many of the inherent defects in the way companies plan and budget. Our recent benchmark research on integrated business planning illustrates some of these fundamental issues. Accuracy is an important attribute for budgeting; in fact, accuracy is the most cited reason why companies elect to change their budgeting process. Our research found that two-thirds of organizations say that their company’s budgets are either accurate or very accurate – an impressive result. However, while accuracy is key for the control of a company, it’s not necessarily the most important consideration for managing operations effectively. Some years ago, I was attending a user group meeting where the head of financial planning and analysis (FP&A) of a large publicly traded company was offering a success story. He related that after purchasing a vendor’s planning and budgeting software, his company was able to increase budget accuracy from 89 percent to 96 percent. I guess in some respects this was inspiring, but I knew that his company had just missed its revenue and earnings per share (EPS) targets six quarters in a row. The company had great spending controls, but it was rigid, and the product of all that spending was not achieving the more important objective of closing business and meeting business objectives. Rather than enforcing rigid spending allocations, IBP focuses on managing critical business ratios that characterize key input-output relationships. In a direct sales business model, “managing the funnel” is a focus of sales executives because it provides reliable leading indicators for the company to close deals and generate revenues. The funnel represents the progression of prospective buyers from sales lead to confirmed customer. Almost always, companies have sequentially fewer potential customers as they move from one stage of the funnel to the next, and the percentage converted to each subsequent stage is a key ratio. If these conversion ratios exceed expectations or fall short, it’s important to understand the reasons why and to adapt the rest of the organization (and therefore change spending allocations) to reflect potential changes to projected future sales activities. IBP also uses a rolling five- or six-quarter planning horizon with monthly updates to enable it to be more adaptable to changing business conditions. After all, Darwin expressly observed that it wasn’t the survival of the fittest but the ability to adapt that makes a species successful. In that same vein, our recently completed research shows that companies do not adapt well to change. Fewer than one-fourth (23%) find it easy to change the details of their annual plan when circumstances change significantly. Decisions wind up being made in a vacuum. Only 22 percent say they can accurately measure the impact of their individual plans on the rest of their company. Half say that when plans change during the year in one part of the business it is only somewhat or not at all coordinated with plans in the rest of the company. Only four percent characterize their response as very well coordinated within their organizations. The lack of coordination is common, affecting 42 percent of organizations, and 16 percent say that dealing with it consumes a lot of time and effort. Yet the data also shows that companies that directly link their plans across an organization have fewer issues with coordination than those that have indirect or no links in their planning process. A key objective for planning and budgeting is to set baselines with which to assess and manage performance. Yet only one-fourth (23%) of organizations are able drill down into numbers during reviews to understand causes. The rest have to wait hours or days to get the answer to why results were better or worse than expected. Assessing performance is essential to making decisions about what to do in response to outcomes or business conditions that are different from those assumed when the initial plans were made. The issue here is that important decisions are deferred while executives and managers wait for numbers, or those officers act on gut instinct instead of waiting. In order to change, organizations first need to recognize what’s wrong with the way they plan and budget and see that a better way is not hard to adopt. Transforming planning and budgeting into a more useful business tool doesn’t have to be difficult. I outlined a measured approach in an earlier blog post. Better technology, and a better process that incorporates the capabilities better technology can provide, are essential elements, and these are neither too difficult nor too expensive to prevent organizations from using new methods. I think the hardest part is deciding to make the fundamental changes.

My colleagues agreed, and our firm awarded CallMiner the 2012 Ventana Research Technology Innovation Award for Customer Excellence. Far from resting on its laurels, CallMiner recently announced a new product, EurekaLive, which it developed initially for a client, then made available generally. The foundation of the product is real-time speech analytics; the software monitors the words and phrases being used by a caller and an agent in an active call. It spots contextual language used by either party, or not used, such as phrases that should have typically been used by the agent (for example, compliance statements). Based on user-defined rules, EurekaLive can raise an alert that would typically result in a supervisor, analyst or other designated person listening to the relevant portions of the call. Supervisors can then take appropriate action, such as silently listening in, interrupting the call or advising the agent on how to deal with the caller or what additional information to give out. The software also captures calls and actions taken, which can then be used for later analysis. The system works directly on an active call, thereby improving the percentage of positive identification of language used. Taking advantage of the latest hardware, it is highly scalable and so can be used on large volumes of calls. The initial version of the product was designed very much with the client in mind, but CallMiner sees further development to help companies meet compliance regulations (missing phrases not used during a call), improve the customer experience, improve the focus for agent training and indentify upsell opportunities. As real-time speech recognition and analysis improves, systems such as EurekaLive can impact the handling of calls as they are happening. This raises the opportunity for companies to monitor calls and take actions that improve the customer experience as it is happening and affect the outcome of calls. I recommend organizations see how EurekaLive can help them with these efforts. Regards, Richard J.

The software-as-a-service-based TribeHR application helps businesses with fewer than 500 employees with recruiting, applicant tracking, onboarding, performance and goal setting, and time and vacation management – but with a twist. By using social collaboration as a foundation for its functionality, TribeHR takes advantage of knowledge sharing, the most valuable approach our human capital management benchmark research found for engaging the workforce. Recently the company announced a new release of its software that provides further social media integration to more easily get candidate information from LinkedIn and Facebook, lets users post feedback and kudos on Facebook, and captures feedback from that channel. It’s easy to register for a trial of the product, so I did. I found the product easy to engage with, and thanks to its collaborative approach, it’s easy for employees to share information and converse with each other. The application lets you easily see staff profiles across the team, which helps drive better understanding of team members. The latest release introduces a simple approach to performance management that is part of the new approach to engaging workers. Managers can assign individual and team goals, track progress and post recognition when goals are reached either in a peer or public manner, and even publish recognition to Facebook. I also like the ease of having actions and goals defined in the system. Companies can share their list of corporate values, and review how employees support the values through their actions. This approach helps engage teams of people as human capital. For recruiting, TribeHR can automate job postings to external websites, job boards and Facebook, and post applications back into TribeHR. It can use a LinkedIn profile for a job application. The software makes it simple for applicants to be reviewed and prioritized for interview and potential future hiring which save valuable business time of hiring managers. This level of integration with social media addresses factors our benchmark research found improve the quality of hire (79%) and address metrics like cultural fit (64%). Other key features include: A corporate calendar that can be integrated with existing Outlook, Google or iCal calendars The ability to track time off Storage of corporate documents for easy access Simple ways to develop and maintain personnel profile and support time tracking. Many of these capabilities can replace personal productivity tools, such as Microsoft Office, that do not foster collaboration or common goals among a workforce. TribeHR can also integrate easily with Salesforce.com for sales force automation and FreshBooks for accounting. I hope to see it further integrate with Intuit QuickBooks, both of which are often used by small businesses. The company recently announced a reseller program to further extend access to its offering through a range of consulting firms. TribeHR keeps it simple when it comes to pricing, with a low per-user per-month charge starting at $2 and going higher based on a company’s needs to engage across groups and teams. With its foundation of customers, the company can provide aggregated information in the form of metrics to give guidance on best practices; for instance, its recently announced pay raise index provides a benchmark to compare a company’s business practices to those of others of similar size. While I usually can find places for improvement in vendor offering, TribeHR provides a very robust offering for the price it charges. I expect we will see more of its offerings available on smartphones and tablets to further extend into the new reality of business computing. Small businesses may lack an HR department, but they must have human capital management applications and processes that can operate with no or little administrative support. When it comes to helping organizations recruit, engage and retain talent, TribeHR provides a robust offering for an affordable price to help small businesses act smarter than the majority of big businesses. If your small business has not taken a look at TribeHR, don’t miss it.

As a private company Kronos had $870 million in revenue for its 2012 fiscal year ending in September, making Kronos one of the largest software and technology companies in the world. Our benchmark research into next-generation workforce management finds the most important technology priorities are collaboration (70%), analytics (68%) and mobility (43%). Kronos addresses these trends with its portfolio of workforce management applications. Building on its introduction of Kronos InTouch at last year’s conference, Kronos meets a new generation of managers’ needs for overseeing and analyzing the contribution of workers. Its new Workforce Tablet application provides analytics, geosensing, scheduling, staffing and time card approvals via a native iPad application available from the Apple App Store. I tried the demonstration and found the application easy to use. It’s designed for a range of competencies and skills across industries. Our research finds 28% of organizations use tablets today, and another third (34%) plan to use them in the next year. Since the iPad is the preferred device in almost two-thirds (63%) of organizations, Kronos has made a smart bet on Apple. Android devices are a logical next step and beginning to show up in business; currently Microsoft has little to no mindshare and it just introduced its Microsoft Slate that it hopes will gain adoption in organizations. This has been a big year for Kronos. The latest release of Kronos Workforce Analytics, as I assessed, was a significant point of expansion. This week’s released of workforce analytics that operate on a tablet should help managers get better insight into labor and high-level worker performance metrics. Kronos’ labor analytics capabilities, accessible now via tablets, can help with overage and compliance metrics. Our latest research found that almost two-thirds (61%) of organizations plan to improve workforce analytics; most currently use spreadsheets. Kronos provides prebuilt content for specific industries but can also provide its analytics technology for any organization that wants more sophisticated analytics. Kronos’ InTouch device can be used as a time clock and for a range of worker interactions, from notifications and access to service and applications. I would expect to see even more options from Kronos to support capabilities like WiFi and playing learning vignettes through video streaming which are natural expansions for its technology. Kronos has new partner applications for InTouch, such as Wayfinder, to help guide employees to work locations; EnrollMe, to help with benefit enrollment; and Employee Survey, to provide employee surveys at point of check-in. These applications help demonstrate the viability and extensibility of the InTouch platform. I hope that Kronos can demonstrate its own expansion of applications and services that could extend to what workers might need after punching out from ordering food for home delivery or pickup to providing reminders on life events or what might be coming up at work on the following day. Kronos also has released Kronos Workforce Task Management to give managers and workers in the retail and hospitality industries better management of tasks that need to be completed. Our research finds that Kronos is addressing organizations’ top three workforce management priorities: aligning workforce to business goals and objectives (29%), increasing productivity (14%) and improving the efficiency of workforce processes (11%). Kronos software helps guide workers and goes beyond just depending on communications to ensure tasks get completed. I hope to see Kronos take the next step and integrate recognition and rewards to provide further acknowledgement for those who complete tasks satisfactorily and use social collaboration techniques to engage managers and workers. Kronos makes its applications accessible through software as a service (SaaS) and cloud computing efforts, which our benchmark research finds is a priority in 19 percent of organizations, versus a preference for on-premises in 42 percent. Kronos announced it now has more than 6,000 customers in the cloud, where it provides a new core HR and payroll offering called Workforce Ready. Its expansion into cloud computing and even providing a hosted service that sometimes is called a private cloud are smart moves to ensure it provides its customers the choices it wants in using its technology. Kronos had no lack of customers at the conference vocalizing support for its cloud computing efforts. Kronos’ largest challenge is less about technology than about educating existing and potential new customers on the productivity and performance improvements they can gain. Our search found the demand for productivity improvement was the number one motivation for new investments in workforce management (63%). Kronos will have to provide more examples and measurements of time to perform tasks, as competitive technology providers are quickly moving to communicate what they do to address a new generation of worker applications. Vendors are not sitting still: Oracle offered some recent demonstrations of its future directions with its Fusion applications, SAP is partnering with Workforce Software, Workday announcing they are supporting workforce management, Ceridian has expanded with Dayforce HCM and SumTotal is reenergizing its efforts; meanwhile, Red Prairie could be distracted given its recent merger announcement with JDA. Kronos will also need to examine methods to expand collaboration methods so workers and managers can interact more through a range of channels, from forums to new broadcast and activity streaming, which our research has found to be growing in importance. Kronos is also making it easier for customers to use its latest mobile and analytics advancements on older versions of its Workforce Central platform and not requiring an upgrade. Kronos has made significant technology advancements to help make workforce management simpler. It has addressed usability, which our research found to be most important consideration in 81 percent of organizations. Kronos is focused on increasing productivity; now it just needs to promote its advancements better to ensure it can take credit for the inclusion of innovative technology in its applications. The move to embrace mobile technology like tablets and supporting tasks and direct support of daily tasks are critical steps to be a leader in the workforce management technology market. If you have not seen what Kronos is doing, just download and run the demo yourself to see what they are doing to advance applications and usability for their customers.

Founded in 1995, it is headquartered in France but has a worldwide presence, with 4,500 customers and more than half a million users of its services. It may not be as well-known as other companies in the same space because many of the customers are in southern Europe, and a high percentage are outsourcers who use its services to provide contact center services based on its platform. It offers what I call multichannel contact center interaction management in the cloud – what some term “communications in the cloud.” A full contact center consists of the systems to manage multiple communication channels, systems to manage agent performance, business application such as CRM, and analytics. Vocalcom’s strength is in the former, along with integration tools that support interfaces with business applications and analytics that focus on interaction performance. The platform supports multiple channels of interaction, including voice, email, SMS, web chat and social media. It supports traditional and voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones, fixed and mobile, and home and office phones working off of a PBX. It includes what many call single-queue routing, where all interactions are routed to agents based on a single set of rules. Interaction recording lets all interactions be stored and analyzed. Agent monitoring allows organizations to see how agents handle different forms of interactions. The platform can manage outbound interactions that include automated outbound dialing, intelligent scripting to aid agents receiving and making calls, and an application to manage outbound marketing campaigns. In a similar way to other communication management products, the platform is closely tied with Salesforce.com Service Cloud, which provides an agent desktop that ties all the capabilities together, making it simpler for agents to carry out their tasks. Ventana Research benchmark research into the agent desktop shows that an integrated desktop is a vital tool, because in many cases agents have to deal with multiple systems. This slows down interaction handling, introduces the opportunity for data entry errors and leads to frustrated and unhappy agents. The research shows that the level of agent unhappiness has a direct impact on an agent’s performance and thus the agent’s ability to meet key performance targets. The Vocalcom platform is available in the cloud and is accessed through a web browser. This removes location as an issue and permits companies to distribute interaction handling, enabling companies to support distributed centers and home-based and mobile agents. For companies wanting to support highly distributed interaction handling, Vocalcom works with cloud-based network services providers such as Ciptex; together they have supported several companies in their efforts to optimize interaction handling on a global basis. The majority of Ventana Research benchmark reports show that usability is often the most critical issue for companies adopting software. The Vocalcom platform has centralized administration, making it easy to set up and operate. As I learned from the demonstration and a user I spoke with, the user interface is also intuitive. For Salesforce.com users, the interface can be integrated into the standard agent desktop. Ventana Research benchmark research into the contact center in the cloud shows that the contact center environment has become ever more complex, with organizations needing to support multiple channels of communication and interactions by more and more lines of business spread over multiple locations. The research shows that to meet these demands, more companies are looking to adopt a contact center in the cloud. Ventana Research recommends companies consider Vocalcom as one of these options.

Sales organizations have pipelines to forecast sales. Manufacturing organizations set and reset demand plans and near-term production schedules, often in response to longer-term production plans that determine what they will make and where and how they will make it. Logistics people plan inbound and outbound shipments. Marketing departments plan advertising and promotion campaigns. HR departments project staffing requirements and associated salary and benefit costs. A lot of planning goes on in any business, but most of it is done in business silos and little of it is integrated, so companies spend a lot of time on planning but get less out of the effort than they should. We recently completed our integrated business planning benchmark research, which followed similar research we completed in 2008. The research shows that companies have done little to mature their planning processes over the past four years. Integrated business planning (IBP) is a term I coined several years ago to apply to bringing together the disparate strands of silo-based corporate planning in a way that increases the accuracy of plans, fosters internal alignment between plans and promotes agility. Today, the closest thing we have to an integrated business plan is the corporate financial plan, otherwise known as the budget. Although a budget is essential to managing any organization, it is inherently not well-suited to the task of planning operations and assessing operational performance. By integrating business plans, corporations can gain multiple benefits. Accuracy is a key objective in any sort of planning, and our research shows that companies that directly link their individual plans with their budgets have more accurate budgets than those with indirect links or no links at all. Yet only 27 percent have direct links between these plans and the corporate budget. The lack of direct linkages limits the degree to which companies can coordinate efforts across multiple business units, and limits the ability of managers to understand how changes in their parts of the business affect others. Only one-fifth (22%) of participants said they can accurately assess the impact of their plan on the rest of the company. Our research finds that when it comes to budgeting, a majority of organizations have a cadence that makes it difficult for them to sustain accuracy and adapt to changing business conditions in a coordinated fashion. More than half (55%) have an annual budget. Few (14%) use the forward-looking rolling quarters approach, which enables more flexibility in predicting and responding to change. Being able to quickly uncover the exact underlying details of major budget variances during review sessions fosters nimbleness, yet only one-fourth of companies (23%) have ability to do so. Why haven’t most companies adopted IBP? Technology has been a major factor shaping how companies plan. In the days before computers and networks, organizations were forced to keep their planning simple because calculations and communications made it infeasible to do anything complex. They had to create a corporate budget, and there wasn’t enough time to do a separate integrated plan or do any substantial replanning more than once a year. When personal computers and electronic spreadsheets became commonplace, budgets became more detailed, but integrating plans remained difficult because of the inherent limitations of desktop spreadsheets in supporting repetitive, collaborative, enterprise-wide processes. Our spreadsheet benchmark research shows that even highly experienced users find it difficult to consolidate multiple spreadsheets – yet our research shows that a large majority of companies (69%) continue to use spreadsheets to manage their planning processes, even though a majority of those using spreadsheets for planning think doing so makes it difficult to manage the process. For companies with more than 100 employees, desktop spreadsheets are a barrier to more effective planning, because it is too difficult to rapidly and accurately assemble an enterprise-wide view of the disparate plans. It’s not difficult to get started with integrated business planning. It’s not necessary to transform planning overnight, as I noted in an earlier blog post. Companies must take three essential steps. The first is to eliminate desktop spreadsheets and replace them with a dedicated application or an enterprise spreadsheet. For example, most dedicated planning applications now use a Microsoft Excel interface in which users can enter plan data and create private “sandboxes” of models and information that they can share with their immediate colleagues. A second, related step is to ensure that all of the planning data is easily accessible to all who are participating in planning activities, which is most easily done by centralizing the storage of plan data. The third, most crucial step is to have senior executives understand that integrated business planning makes the planning process more effective and improves a company’s results.
