By embedding the logic that helps senior executives decide how to take action, they can experience a new kind of collaboration that helps improve overall business performance. Tailored to their own needs, senior executives decide which areas of their business are displayed as the default. The Accenture Executive Portal tool guides companies to a "drag and drop" laundry list of metrics for areas that they might not currently be measuring in their enterprise, connecting their business in unprecedented ways.
Although the Accenture Executive Portal can be applied to any industry, the metrics used by those industries will vary. Insurers, for instance, might want to evaluate claims granted whereas automotive manufacturers like to see point-of-sales or manufacturing data; communications, media and technology companies could be viewing daily sales across regions while in retail, point-of-sale transactions or supply chain data may be the metrics to view in detail.
Of course, senior executives are able to access this information today, but at best they may get access to such content only every two weeks. Using the Accenture Executive Portal, that time can be considerably reduced as it moves toward a nightly, possibly even dynamic, refresh of mission-critical enterprise information.
Senior executives benefit from using the Accenture Executive Portal through:
- Faster decision making
- Total personalization
- Increased control and collaboration
- Improved records management
- Alerts
