Apps & Mashups for Executives

You Need the Right Information at the Right Time

Today’s business environment is very dynamic. Economics, competition, supplies, customers, and the information behind them can all change overnight. In this complex and dynamic environment organizations are finding that competitive advantage is less about standardized processes and instead comes from the ability to handle change, collaborate and make quality decisions rapidly.

However, poor decisions are often made because decision-makers do not have the right information at the right time for their specific needs. A recent Accenture survey of 1,009 Fortune 500 managers found that:

The odds are good that you and your organization have issues similar to these. How would you know? A short checklist of indicative symptoms might include:

• You have ‘silos’: The information you need is frequently inaccessible in legacy or proprietary applications.
• You often cut-and-paste: Combining data from multiple sources is labor-intensive and time consuming.
• You don’t share well: You can’t easily and securely share the information you do find.
• You can’t get any help: IT rarely has the time or budget to address your unique information needs.

Unlock, assemble, and share your information easily

JackBe’s Enterprise App Store supports timely decision making by enabling business users to rapidly and easily find, build, customize and share context-appropriate Apps with others who might need them. These Apps can easily and securely incorporate and mashup timely and relevant data from disparate information assets, and seamlessly run on multiple enterprise and mobile destinations.

In other words, Enterprise Apps can help you ‘unlock’ your information, enable the rapid assembly of disparate sources, deliver your information wherever you want to use it, and make it easy for you to share your results with your peers and partners. And you can get Enterprise Apps without waiting for IT.

Ultimately, Enterprise Apps give you new insights and enable better decisions in every industry. Examples of Apps in action include:

• Disaster-monitoring and disaster-response Apps.
• Compliance- and risk-assessment Apps.
• Intelligence analysis and situational awareness Apps.
• Product marketing and competitive analysis Apps.
• Manufacturing and supply-chain monitoring Apps.
• Exception-monitoring and analysis Apps.
