What Does Rockport Software Do?

Businesses across the world are having to compete under new and changing circumstances. Advances in technology can help a company leapfrog its competition, but may reduce barriers for entry in their industry, enabling others to enter the market more easily. Deregulation has brought competitive pressure into almost every industry, forcing incumbents to react quickly, or lose ground to new entrants. Mergers and acquisitions are on the increase again, as companies seek to achieve and maintain leadership in their markets.

Companies have to become much more efficient in order to compete and to survive. They have to develop new products and services more quickly. They have to market these more effectively. And they have to keep their customers coming back for more.

But there's more to it than efficiency. Companies have to make effective strategic and tactical decisions. And they have to keep making them. This requires information - on products, customers, markets, competition, internal processes and external factors. All of which must be accurate, meaningful, reliable, relevant, and up-to-date.

For example, Marketing Managers need answers to questions like:

  Question Mark Who are my most profitable customers?
  Question Mark What are they buying?
  Question Mark What are they NOT buying?
  Question Mark How do they respond to promotional activity?
  Question Mark What are my most profitable products?
  Question Mark Who is buying them?
  Question Mark Who ISN'T buying them?
     

Financial Managers also ask demanding questions like:

  Question Mark Which business units provide the best return on capital?
  Question Mark How can I determine the best investment opportunity from the many and varied proposals?
  Question Mark Which functions provide the most added value to the company?
  Question Mark How can I assess the outcomes of the company's strategic plan over the next three to five years?
     

Information is as vital to a business as its revenue and profits. Companies need information on where sales are coming from today, and where they will come from in the future. They need information on what attracts a customer, and what makes them come back again. This affects all functions of the business - marketing, production, finance, IT support, distribution, suppliers and channels.

Business Intelligence technology provides a decision support environment and infrastructure that can influence the entire business. Development of budgets and plans may lead to an analysis of production and distribution costs, which in turn may lead to an assessment of supplier performance. Pricing and quality issues can then be reviewed with the suppliers, and targets agreed.

Rockport Software provides the business experience and the technology required to help companies make more effective business decisions. Using the best Business intelligence software (BI) in the world, we have helped many world class companies improve the effectiveness of their decision making.
