Making enterprises more customer-centric, sharpening focus on key initiatives that lead to entering new markets and creating new business models, and improving operational performance are three dominant factors driving analytics, Big Data, and business intelligence (BI) investments today. Unleashing the insights hidden in unstructured data is providing enterprises with the potential to compete and improve in areas they had limited visibility into before. Examples of these areas include the complexity of B2B selling and service relationships,  healthcare services, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) of complex machinery. All organizations face the daunting task of integrating systems together to enable greater process visibility. enosiX is taking a leadership role in this area, offering real-time integration between SAP and Salesforce systems, giving enterprises the opportunity to be more responsive to suppliers, resellers, partners and most importantly, customers.
