Data-Driven Decisions
What questions does your boss really need your data to answer? Here's one from Oracle CEO Mark Hurd: "What kinds of people succeed at Oracle?" Hurd offered that question recently as just one example of how cloud-based applications such as human capital management and enterprise resource planning, using built-in analytics, are changing what business leaders expect from IT systems and company data.

Tech vendors historically have created apps to execute transactions, leaving data analysis for separate applications and specialized IT pros. Today's cloud apps enable decision-makers to access and parse data without having to call on IT to run a report. See Answer the Questions That Really Matter to Your Business.

Why does this speedy analysis matter so much? Because businesses are gaining confidence in the economy, trying to pick the opportunities to invest in, and "starving the heck out of the ones that don't." Read PwC and GE Show How to Turn Rising Business Confidence into Action.
