No one version of the truth
Experience shows that no centralised design for reporting systems means that key reports and data end up spread across multiple systems and a variety of manual maintained spreadsheets.
The truth is out there - we always recommend bringing all core reporting data into one managed repository that is available for immediate analysis
Why?
- no manual effort compiling reports
- no possible human error in producing figures
- KPIs not available for use in system-generated reports
- time-wasted checking and re-checking analyses
