In recent years organisations have had access to enviable
amounts of data to help manage their processes and make
strategic decisions. Data is captured from all areas of
business processes from operations to administration and
also vertically through the supply chain.
The shear deluge of data from such disparate sources can
often make managing or basing decision on it difficult.
Custom MIS systems reach deep into the data assets of an
organisation and provide rich reports and tracking systems
by aggregating data and applying business rules to the
interpretation. A popular interface is the traffic
signal-based indicators that provide real time data on
profit margins or accounting ratios. Thresholds are
set to turn outputs; green amber and red. Most systems if
this type (frequently called management dashboards) also
provide granular information when the systems announce
warnings from pre-identified situations.
Other systems are based on business processes and can
track the performance of manufacturing processes or
workflows with organisations. These might show the progress
of manufacturing from parts deliveries to finished products
and highlight bottlenecks along the way, or track orders
from placement through to dispatch. Regular use
provides valuable feedback on which to base strategic
decisions about the company. At tlmNexus we look
at the systems currently employed by a business and isolate
the data sources needed to reconcile into the Information System.
We then combine the data with real time business rules
to create powerful dashboards. Our systems are embedded
deeply into organisations’ data infrastructure within the
organisations like the MoD and The London Borough of
Southwark.
