I write this with a beautiful if somewhat distracting view of the same snow-capped mountains that much of the world is currently watching. At this very moment, athletes located all over this region are giving it their all as they attempt to be the best in their sport.
The observant will notice how the changes in technology have changed the experience for both the competitors and the audience. Viewers benefit from the new fiber-optic communications tools that the broadcasters employ. The event organizers utilize the latest in weather forecasting to micro-managing events, while the athletes use technology for everything from training enhancement to improving their gear and even their clothing!
Time is of the essence!
True competitive advantage however refers to the utilization of tools and/or techniques that are exclusively yours.
While Monarch software isn’t rare or used by only a select group, it’s not exactly widely used either; at least not yet. Really, how many people do you personally know that use Microsoft Windows? Right: probably almost everyone that you know. And how many of them simply know of Monarch, much less use it regularly? I feared as much… but I’m doing what I can to change that!
So there’s enough time for you to make Monarch a factor in your competitive advantage strategy. Every business that aims to be profitable has, or should have, a competitive advantage. If they don’t then they’re playing a losing game.
Business intelligence software has been high on the priority list for many organizations for some time now. In fact, regardless of your industry, your competitors probably employ some kind of BI solution. But since, as we’ve already discussed, they’re probably not using Monarch, what do they use?
Odds are that they’ve implemented a system with “all the bells and whistles”. It also probably came complete with a huge price tag and massive training and ongoing support requirements. Just like the folks at Jurassic Park, they spared no expense.
Turn their decisions against them like raging dinosaurs. Implement a solid and completely function BI strategy with Monarch at its foundation to save costs not just at the initial deployment but at every step along the way afterward as well.
You say you want a revolution
You can start your BI revolution by installing but a single copy of the desktop software. Then, as your needs increase, you can choose to install more licenses or move to a network installation. In time, you’ll have a library of individual BI tools (Monarch models and projects) at your disposal.
As the BI needs of your organization grow, you can leverage those tools by using them, with other more expensive (but not that expensive) and powerful Datawatch solutions like Datawatch Dashboards, Monarch Data Pump, Monarch BI Server and Monarch BI Enterprise Server.
The time is now
The clock is ticking. There’s only so much time left before your competition discovers what you now know: an affordable, powerful, useful and even easy to learn and use business intelligence solution is within your reach.
Put yourself on the winning team. Make the medal-winning decision to excel with Monarch.
