“No data is clean, but most are useful,” says Dean Abbot, a noted data scientist. Granting seamless access to helpful information to all the employees increases productivity and collaboration.

Employees start using the data in their decision-making process quickly, which improves their problem-solving ability. Employees adapting to data-driven decision-making show better performance and consistent improvement than others.

Learning to make informed decisions

Employees indulge in scores of daily activities, which can improve substantially by incorporating data-driven decisions in everyday tasks. Training the employees to make informed decisions is easy if all the necessary data is available to them seamlessly. Though data security is a huge issue, restricting data access does not help much as huge money gets spent to correlate relevant data.

The information is useful only if many people use it to improve their skills and contribute to the business. PB Charts help companies create valuable process behavior charts which can predict results and track the consistency of a business process. The employees and managers can understand the weak points and strengths of the process modules from the run charts and make the necessary changes.

Smooth operations management 

Smooth operations management is a must for all the departments to function properly and fulfill their needs. Seamless data access enables easy operations management as they know which department needs what sort of resources on a real-time basis. The needs are prioritized based on the big picture of the entire process instead of human judgments.

Training all the employees in operations in data-based decision making and exerting rules making them practice it mandatorily helps increase productivity. Companies that use data lightly show a 57% increase in productivity and companies that use data backup for every decision show 91% more profits. Understanding the practical ways of using data to simplify work and show constant improvement is essential for every business.

Better security 

Transparent data leads to better data security as every employee accessing it is taught the importance of data handling. The employees are often a liability for data threats, and even a slight mistake from their side can compromise data security. The reason for negligent employee behavior is a lack of awareness about data security’s vitality.

When data access is made common through seamless integration, every employee gets adequate knowledge and training regarding the importance of secure data access. It prevents them from being careless and handling data responsibly as they know the severe implications of data breaches.

Increased profits 

Seamless data availability for all employees leads to increased profits because employees can measure the results of their actions. If a person is working in the accounts department and handling numbers all day, they will have five to ten repetitive tasks to perform every single day.

Data helps to see how much time is allotted for each process, which task takes time, and which tasks often get redone. They use this data to improve the weak points and fix the issues to simplify the task. Seamless integration of data makes such improvement possible for every employee, leading to better, smarter, and faster work, leading to more profits.

Improved communication

Seamless data availability in the workplace enables better communication between all the departments. It paves the way for understanding each other, working hand in hand under pressure, and exerting immense cooperation. Several businesses struggle because each department is an island, and the others don’t know what gets done behind cubicles on the other end of the hall.

Easy access to data makes communication between various departments possible as they can clear their doubts and know what each other do in their work. Better communication creates a good rapport between several divisions, making them work on core modules with ease.
