Analytics Workflow Improvement and Efficiency

Organizations are built upon recurring business processes. People and teams executing these processes may struggle with inefficiencies due to information in a variety of tools and formats or questions about which information should be used.

ZenOptics addresses this challenge by:
  • Automating standardized workflows to ensure the appropriate reports and information are used for decisions

ZenOptics:

  • Identifies exactly which reports and platforms are being used by whom
  • Reveals potential duplicated, inaccurate, or unauthorized reports

The activities associated with the integration of organizations is complex and information intensive. Each organization brings its existing tools, structures and processes and must align in the new, joined organization.

With ZenOptics, organizations can:
  • Quickly access all reports in one place
  • Map, understand, and determine the most important and relevant reports
  • Conduct side-by-side review and validation of reporting information
  • Facilitate alignment and integration of information such as charts of accounts and pro forma documents
  • Optimize BI and Analytics tools and licensing for potential cost reductions

  • Create a standardized report lifecycle management process to ensure information is valid and appropriate for use
