Data visibility is a key to any important decision-making process, however it not only includes having access to all the relevant information, but having pertinent information available at the right moment. Andy Lewis, CIO of Kovarus (Integrated IT Expertise) said “It is critical to first understand where you are now and how you can adapt what you have before you can effectively adopt and integrate new technology innovations”.

A recent study revealed that many organizations are lacking in this regard. A large number of IT professionals said they did not have the resources to manage data about their different tech-related Projects, as a result they are not able to measure the daily performance of their tech-related projects. Just think , If a large number of IT professionals don’t have access to relevant reports at the right moment, what about salespeople and executives?
