Running your business in real-time requires knowing how your key business processes are performing against plan — weekly, daily, and even hourly. Your most important customers demand ever-increasing performance because today's economic realities dictate higher service levels at the lowest possible cost. In order to succeed in meeting these expectations, managers need the ability to measure performance while there is still time to affect the outcome — at a level of detail that lets you take action.

ActiveInsight provides this "right time" management view of your process performance, providing measurement information within a timeframe that enables you to impact ongoing results. You'll see performance measures the way you want to see them.  This capability will keep you ahead of, instead of reacting to, business conditions.

Measuring Business Process Performance
ActiveInsight's critical advantage is its "active" and continuous analysis. Each ActiveInsight application is able to alert appropriate managers the moment a performance measurement falls outside of an acceptable range, providing relevant context and the most current information from your business systems. Managers can see performance on a weekly, daily, or even hourly basis, at the level of detail needed to run the business and make changes in a timeframe that will positively influence performance. Further, ActiveInsight applications allow users to define the dimensions of the data that are important to them and ensure only the most relevant information is presented.

With ActiveInsight, managers can drill-into the specific metrics that are out of the acceptable range in order to obtain the operational information relevant to each problem. This easily-accessed operational data leverages the information generated by the exceptions and resolution strategies that ActiveResponse applications identify. The linking of tactical information to the managerial view gives managers immediate access to both high-level and in-depth analysis of every aspect of their organization's production, distribution, and sell-through.

This continuous, real-time key business measurement is presented at the level of detail that makes the results useful. For example, stock-outs can be reported by customer, end item, region, or channel. The result is that business managers can take action to focus on only the areas of performance that need their attention in a way that will impact monthly or quarterly results.
