“Organizations routinely report that utilizing cross-functional data delivers competitive advantage,” said Dave Menninger, SVP, Ventana Research. “Analytics based on a range of data that extends beyond the limits of the department—such as the capabilities in Oracle Analytics for Cloud HCM—enable line-of-business personnel to make decisions and take actions for the organization to best meet its strategic and operational objectives.”

“To deliver value, analytics must impact a business process. Analytic applications support business processes directly by delivering a variety of different types of analysis packaged as solutions targeting specific processes, and specific groups of business users. They cover various functions. Some support industry-agnostic business processes such as procurement, which some are industry-specific,” said Gartner analysts Alys Woodward and Gareth Herschel.
