Enterprise Components for Rapid ROI
Service-oriented application components extend your decision making capabilities.
The nimbler you want to be as a company, the faster your business drivers will change. And so will the needs of business users. Your enterprise apps will have a difficult time keeping up.
Fortunately, there are answers. The answers are not new enterprise applications, but totally new solution delivery models based on service-oriented technologies. We call them "enterprise components"… think of it as "Enterprise X.0." It's not just a better UI -- it's an approach that uses proven technologies and open standards to deliver low-risk, light-footprint, high-impact business solutions on top of your enterprise apps and data.
These components may take the form of:
- Software that extends your core application.
- Process templates and spreadsheets that provide decision support to business users.
- Analytical components such as simulation models that run on top of your applications.
- Hosted services for analysis or other aspect of your supply chain process.
These reusable, high-level components serve as building blocks that we adapt to fit your needs. As a result, you get fast, custom solutions… from experts in the business.

What they enable
|
| Scenario and what-if analysis
|
Enterprise apps typically work with one version of the future. If you can't run what-if scenarios, you invariably find that you have to cut corners in your planning. No longer ... Entercoms enables flexible and sophisticated what-if analysis and business simulation of your supply chain or service network. You get unprecedented insights into the opportunities and problems…and how to address them.

| Data visualization and collaboration
|
Entercoms helps you visualize data and intelligence in familiar formats such as Microsoft Excel. Mash it up with a mapping service such as Microsoft Mappoint or Google Maps, and immediately view the geographical distribution of resources, bottlenecks and opportunities. Collaborate with other business users, informally or within a set process. Use Excel or Wikis to combine collaboration with data visualization.

| Business intelligence and data reformation
|
The same enterprise data has to be sliced many ways and presented at many levels of aggregation to suit different purposes. Even with a "common" process such as S&OP, for example, sales and marketing may want to view product data by dollar volume, product family, and major account while manufacturing wants to see units by product line by week. Entercoms components clean, reform, aggregate and disaggregate data for the business need at hand. Be a minimalist and just fix data errors. Or use sophisticated data mining to find patterns and complex relationships. Business need drives the use.
