Managing Compressed Decision-Making Cycles
In A Hyper-Dynamic Environment
Enterprise mashups offer a new way to accelerate the process of
bringing together information throughout organizations by using Web
data standards to access critical information. Enterprise mashups
remove much of the complexity associated with developing micro-
applications and empowers non-technical business users to construct
reports that tap into the real-time sources of information that drive an
organization. Thus, rather than depending on the IT staff to develop
a new report, business managers and analysts can mix and match
sources to create their own dashboards from which to make
decisions.
Enterprise Mashup Platforms, or EMPs, provide executives with an
institutional tool for creating mashups and then extending – or
projecting – the value generated by each mashup from a single
situation into others; this allows it to be reused or built upon as other
needs arise. Moreover, EMPs offer the promise of providing
information technology (IT) departments with the security,
management and control measures that hold the people, processes
and technologies that consume enterprise data resources
accountable to appropriate standards and policies of behavior.
The potential of mashups in the enterprise – and Enterprise Mashup
Platforms – is great. In an effort to better understand this new
technology and comprehend the significant management implications
that ensue, the editors of BizTechReports.Com sat down with subject
matter experts at Chevy Chase, Md.-based JackBe (http://www.
jackbe.com) to explore the strategic, operational, financial and
technological issues that organizations should consider to effectively
harness this technology-enabled business application in today’s
hyper-dynamic information environment.
