This paper focuses on the things one can do today to move the right data to the right people, enabling quality, near real-time decisions. This paper also addresses when one should drive for real-time decision support and when it might not be appropriate. It also discusses a framework that supports low cost, incremental improvements in information architecture, while optimizing business processes to ensure information transparency across the enterprise.
