Software is built fundamentally wrong
Most business software does not work and does not help business leaders
1. Technology vs
solution
There is a big gap
People think that they buy
solutions – not technology
stacks
2. Change and agility
Can’t handle exceptions
• Business changes fast
• Configured by business
• Agile
• Exception based
• Platform needs to fit
reality (not opposite)
3. From point solution
to holistic view
Business mgmt. platform
• Breaking the functional silos
• Every domain is connected
and related
• Strategy is the corporate
glue
4. Capability
Focus on business needs
• From data modeling to
business modeling
• Business needs satisfied

Which can explain why so many business solutions are not delivering business value

Software is built for an ideal world
Handling exceptions is expensive and gives little flexibility
The belief:
• No exceptions
• No deviations
• Everything can be fit into tables, columns and rows
Reality:
• Exception is the rule
• The real world is not able to fit into the structures we
create (tables, columns and rows)
• We should find a new way of modeling that has the
flexibility (data modeling vs business modeling)

18. 18We need a holistic platform – a complete management system
Business domains are inter-connected and strategy is binding it all together
Money is connected to
achieving objectives
and strategy
Projects are
connected to
strategy (strategic
initiatives/ projects)
Risk/ Coso/ Risk
appetite is defined
in and managed the
company’s strategy
Quality/Processes
are connected to
strategy through
models like EFQM,
Lean/ Six sigma
Strategic competence,
mgmt. contracts,
annual assignment are
linked to objectives
IT and digital
transformation is a
competitive advantage
that needs to be linked
to strategic objectives
Continuous
improvement is
linked to over all
objectives

After 20 years of attempting report automation….
The result is:

22. 22
95% of financial
reports are still
made by using
85 hours spend on creating a
typical management report

23. 23
We need to ask ourselves the critical question – what is this?

24. 24
And what do IT professionals see?

25. How should a KPI system be
built?

26. 26
Traditional BI & BIA tools:
• Report based
• document based (HTML based)
• Separate web pages are linked together
• no model depth
• depth is in the data model only
(data hierarchies) and enables you to
navigate in data structures
• Time period is defined in the report,
dashboard or analysis object
• Consume data
• No model context to show where in the
business model you (flat dashboard)
• Report based
Dashboards are "flat" presentations of HTML pages
• No time selector showing various versions of
the story (only numbers)
• Time is handled through applying filters or
report versions representing time

27. 27
Corporater:
• Business based modeling
• Models are defined
• Model depth
• Time dimension is uniquely handled
• Work in the application (two way)
Time selector to show various
periods (model and data)
