How are successful businesses using technology to drive their decision-making? PDF Print

In 2008, we conducted a study among 585 businesses around the world to benchmark how technology is being used to help make better decisions. The results revealed that those companies who were using more advanced technology to drive business decisions were reaping the rewards of stronger financial performance.

Two years ago, the primary uses of decision-making software centered around goals, objectives, and strategies (see chart below), but has the recent economic turmoil changed the way companies use technology? What are the most agile and competitive businesses doing with their information?

You will be able to benchmark your company against hundreds of others who are part of this study. For your participation, we will send you a copy of the results of this year's survey as well as the report from our 2008 study.
