The Automotive Case for Self-Service Analytics
Due to the importance of workforce and financial insights to overall business operations, improvements to analytics capabilities will have wide-ranging impacts for the entire automotive organization. All functions need to hire, retain, develop and motivate individuals to perform at their most productive levels, and even functions that do not have direct revenue responsibilities must manage financial resources. These two business units thus support every other function in the automotive organization in fundamental ways.
For example, analytics produced by line-of-business personnel will enable the automotive organization to best meet its objectives. However, in many cases important analytics are not accessible from within the business applications that line-of-business employees commonly use. Often, the analytics are delivered via entirely separate applications—a situation that makes fully informed and timely decision-making more complex and time-consuming.
