Enterprise Performance Management - Data is First Priority

Last week when i was reading articles about AIR India issues and how company is making huge losses I wrote an article saying If Satyam can become Mahindra Satyam why Air India cannot become TATA AIR? I think all great mind thinks alike including indian government and corporates. Just now indian avaition ministry came up with a news about having TATA group head to be at the helm of restructuring affair of Air India. In my opinion thats the feasible and best way to get air india out of mess, run it like a corporate company rather than a government run PSU and make it leaner, cleaner, greener and profitable.

I also started working on this thread on the blog BI is not just a dashboard . Let me know your comments on pmendki(at)gmail(dot)com -Prashant

Team of AMR research consultants – Phil Fersht, Mickey North-Rizza along with Ruby Jivan, BP's Procurement Operations Director will discuss about the latest market dynamics in supply management business process outsourcing. Visit the article and registration link for the webcast here A good webcast to attend if you can. I am looking forward to have different perspectives on the supply chain outsourcing areas from industry watchers. The argument that Phil had in his last article about the Supply Chain BPO space getting overheated is still fresh, so need to see if he is getting validated from industry experts.
