It’s time to EXCEL with Business Intelligence!

It is not an unreasonable question, yet many large advertisers rely on spreadsheets, multiple meetings, and numerous emails to answer what should be a simple question.

When advertisers automate their agency management processes, they not only drive efficiencies, improve data accuracy, and capture real-time data, they also enable data-driven decision making with business intelligence.

“More than ever, marketing procurement teams in large advertisers need access to data visualizations to help them make important performance and investment decisions. Decideware can facilitate immediate insights; whereas before, clients may have needed weeks to answer common questions. Secondly, we’re increasingly providing clients with widespread access to data across their markets and across their marketing teams at their points of decision making. And more than ever, agencies are asking for access to data visualizations for approval status to help them manage their operations more efficiently. These are all exciting initiatives made possible with the right expertise, good data and custom designed visualizations.” – Eugene Motov, Business Intelligence Manager at Decideware.

Business intelligence and the use of dashboards have become the preferred and respected model allowing companies to make informed business decisions in real-time. Business intelligence can transform organizations and allow them to react quickly to market dynamics and budget shifts, plan better for the future, and enable a new model for value creation.

Here are a few examples of how Business Intelligence is helping large advertisers:

Example 1 – Reacting quickly to Market Dynamics

A global pandemic hits and the CFO needs to claw back marketing dollars for projects that have not yet started... a Scope of Work Dashboard can instantly provide details on which projects haven’t started and the total value of those projects, by brand, by market.

Example 2 – Plan for the Future

The company has set Diversity, Equity & Inclusion goals for the year and the agency ecosystem is included as part of those goals. An Agency Diversity Scorecard, via Business Intelligence dashboards, can capture Tier 1 and Tier 2 spend, the diversity mix of the agency team, and assurance that assets and the make-up of the agency team are representative of their customer base.

Example 3 – Enable a New Model for Value Creation

A Business Intelligence dashboard can help a company compare the level of value agencies are providing based on KPIs (Strategy, People, Process, Innovation, Quality, Cost, Reliability, etc.)

Decideware helps companies with large advertising budgets move beyond Excel spreadsheets to a fully automated process that produces rich data insights using Business Intelligence. Whether the process is used for agency rosters, agency performance evaluations, scopes of work, or production management. The ability to manage agency relationships more effectively and efficiently with Business Intelligence brings greater value to the advertiser as well as the agency.
