Empower every decision maker in the automotive organization with relevant

information, drive alignment across the value chain, and adapt to constant market

changes. Harness the opportunity of Big Data and the power of mobile with

technology that delivers a personal, trusted, interactive view of the business.

Business decision makers have less time

to make decisions, even as they respond to

global changes and a growing business

network. Information growth is compounded

by continuous capture of text, digital signals,

video, and pictures. The number of users

continues to proliferate, with more and more

employees expected to need access to

analytics in the future. Organizations also

report a gap between the availability of Big

Data and their ability to analyze it for insights.

With data generated by so many people,

combined with the growing variety of digital

and social data sources, how will automotive

organizations master cloud access to data from

sensory and mobile-to-mobile devices, which

will further fuel the data volume explosion?

Fortunately, organizations can take advantage

of real-time intelligence to convert the growing

volume and variety of data into accurate insights

for each of their decision makers, helping them

to understand both the opportunity and the

associated risks.

Predictive insights, from simulating and modeling

across disparate sources of voluminous data,

enable managers and executives to make

informed decisions. By integrating real-time

business intelligence into key performance

management initiatives, including strategy,

planning, and profitability management,

automotive companies can align strategy with

execution. Proactive alerts to risk, which ensure

compliance to regulations, and internal controls

in real time contribute to growth and brand

value.

Leveraging Big Data from machines and the Internet, and technology innovations

in mobile and in digital and social media, automotive companies can empower the

digital native generation with real-time intelligence. Facts can replace instinct to

drive better decisions and fuel business transformation.

Better Decisions to Transform the Business

Leaders of best-run automotive businesses

enhance their organizations by empowering

increasing numbers of employees with real-

time business intelligence, which provides

relevant insights to drive business decisions

and actions.

Chief information officers are leading

enterprise-wide transformation by establishing

a foundation that supports collaboration and

dissemination of information across desktop

and mobile devices.

In addition, business managers are nurturing

their teams by building analytical skills and

enabling collaboration across stakeholders,

both internally and externally.

In these organizations, the analysis and

exploration of alternative options fuels creative

and strategic thinking, enabling all decision

makers to work as one team – developing

trust, respect, and pride in the organization.

From strategy to planning and execution, align-

ment across the organization provides decision

makers with critical visibility to trends. With the

ability to simulate conditions, decision makers

can model changes based on future projections,

making decisions to adjust to changing global

and local environments. The result can be

a significant competitive advantage for the

company.

Business growth and market leadership require visibility across the business

network, enabling quick adaptation to changing business environments and

adoption of industry-leading best practices. Enterprise alignment maximizes

performance and helps firms balance risk and opportunity with confidence.

Drive Visibility Across the Business Network

Automotive organizations need to be able to

define measurable growth strategies; review

scorecards in real time; plan and adjust plans in

real time; and address fraud, compliance, and

operational risks effectively and collaboratively

across the network. A reliable source of

information drives focus on the business, and

the ability to power this network of truth with

the right information, and with efficient processes

to manage performance and risk, forms the

backbone of a transformational strategy.

Achieving alignment across the organization’s

business network requires enabling employees

with real-time insights and information

wherever their role takes them – and giving

employees the ability to access these insights,

anywhere and anytime, on their mobile devices.

Organizations require computing environments

that can convert ever-larger volumes of ever-

more-complex data into the level of intelligence

expected by the new generation of digital

natives.

Today’s chief information officer must put in

place a technology platform to support the

needs of the business. These needs include

the ability to plan and react to fast-changing

market situations and to cope with operational

bottlenecks, increasing cost factors, a shrinking

decision-making window, and the need for

more collaboration.

When it comes to the bottom line, automotive

organizations need to empower employees

and enable them to adapt quickly and take the

actions that drive the business – every moment

of the day.

Improve top- and bottom-line results by prioritizing and

aligning resources to corporate initiatives and stream-

lining planning processes. Enhance profitability with

insight into real costs. Comply with evolving accounting

standards and regulatory mandates by reducing the time

and cost of financial close and disclosure.

Finance departments provide the most value

when they provide input to business strategy.

Such an approach allows planners to spend

more time on analysis and less time on

aggregating spreadsheets and similar activities.

The process begins by making sure financial

and operational plans align to strategic objectives

and initiatives. Doing so ensures that every-

body is operating on the same page.

Shorter, more efficient planning and budget

cycle times help to increase planning accuracy

and organizational agility, while seizing new

revenue opportunities and avoiding risks.

In addition, to maximize profitability, the true

cost of a product, customer, or channel needs

to be identified and optimized.

Real-time access to financial analysis and

operational decision-making capabilities

ensures optimal responsiveness.

To achieve these objectives while observing

evolving accounting standards and regulatory

disclosure mandates requires accelerated and

more reliable close-to-disclose processes, as

well as the ability to analyze the why and how

behind financial results.

To answer key business questions based on a myriad

of business and market events, top business experts

can explore, model, and analyze vast amounts data –

all happening in real time. All levels of the organization

can understand what is likely to happen next, and why.

With the use of Big Data technology, real-time

modeling, and optimizing techniques, organi-

zations can decrease the time and cost of

answering questions by identifying previously

unknown nuggets of information.

For example, this information can help organi-

zations understand how historical sales, costs,

and other key metrics translate to future per-

formance. Better analysis of larger amounts of

data can reveal the causes of customer satis-

faction and employee turnover.

This kind of analysis can help users find

seasonality, co-occurrence, propensity, and

fraud factors in data for cross-sell and up-sell

opportunities, for better-informed decisions

related to policy or compliance.

Finally, this information can help locate

anomalies and trends that can trigger new

business strategies and tactics. 48%

By incorporating analytics into decision making, auto-

motive companies can reduce the cost and effort to

manage risk and compliance, while more confidently

protecting revenue streams and optimizing financial

performance.

As automotive companies transform their

businesses, they must account for the cost

and effort to manage risks arising from new

business models, as well as from meeting

global compliance requirements. Risk

assessment and analysis are imperative to

determining growth and investment strategies.

By automating risk and compliance activities,

while leveraging best practices and a scalable

enterprise system, companies can achieve a

growth strategy that balances opportunity and

risk. Specific strategies and resulting benefits

include the following:

By proactively preventing risk events and

compliance violations from occurring,

companies can confidently protect revenue

streams, shareholder value, and reputation.

By embedding risk and compliance programs

into strategy management and planning,

companies can optimize performance and

results.

By applying a “cost of risk” aspect to prioritize

risk response planning and by establishing

the necessary controls, companies can

manage operational risk factors.
