Ameriking Burger king franchisee & others:
Business Value of Enterprise Portals.
How a variety of information technologies have become keycomponents of successful decision support systems.
When CIO arrived 3 yrs ago technology was not exactly on the frontburner for the Westchester, Illinois based Burger King Franchisee.
Larger Burger king franchisee in country with 376 stores & 13,000employees, scattered across US.
Financial reports & human resource policies were manuallyphotocopied & distributed via monthly or bimonthly mailings & fax.
Technology side was definitely underdeveloped
Hernando Manrique CIO- teamed with Business Data & Intelligence &Business Applns and solutions co.

June 2001 launched Aklnet as portal to 180 district mgrs, mktg directors& mktg mgrs. & a rollout to all the mgrs of all 376 stores began during2002.
Field personal could now web browse to access daily & monthly financialreports & over 71,000 corporate documents - use email account &order supplies from Boise cascade online via the portal.
Just accessing these reports online is saving Ameriking about $ 5 lacper yearin reduced printing & distribution costs. Those savings aloneenabled us tojustify the entire project - & we see it as Just thebeginning.
It wasnt easy to sell

Ameriking is in
1. Sector low profit margins - each penny spent had to be justified &payback had to be almost immediate.
2. Additional hurdle of aversion to technology within the co
3. There was little understanding that IS technology can be at the verycenter of a sound strategy not simply an after thought.
Aklnet portal has several communities of applns. HR community ofemployee profiles. & emp. contact info personalized emp. info, a finance
& accounting community with access to sales & inventory data, P&L,payroll & DSS. Amarketing community with regional calendar & timelypromotional info.

We see 8 leading Cos have already done so:
1. Merrill Lynch enterprise portal because Co could no longer afford tofinance all websites & portals sites being built across the Co.
2. Guess Because it became too expensive to train its retail associates &Partners on how to use all the appnls it wanted to roll out fromheadquarters.
3. Chevron Texaco - Because it wanted an integrated web environment butcould not afford to convert every system from the newly merged units ofChevron & Texaco into common web applns.
4. Boeing Because Security & content changes that poured in its intranet
every day overwhelmed the web produces & developers that built the site.

5. Starbucks Because it was most comprehensive way to eliminate all sortof paperwork required to keep its retail outlets humming.
6. Beringer - wine estates estimates that its sales people spend hours morein the field each week - meeting wine retailers they easily find everythingthey need from headquarters in their portal.
7. First Energy plans to eliminate millions from its training budget for HRself service by delivering the key HR functions in a portal.
8. Washington Mutual - implemented a portal so that every business unit could draw on a common set of foundation services for building web
applns within the portal at lower cost.T
his centralized knowledge mgt. &context mgt. created consistent business process that can span differentdepts..

Thus we see benefits.
Instantly access financial & mktg reports over 71,000 corporate documents.
Employees can also email, online training, ordering supplies, & corporatenews.
Resulted in major cost saving & greatly improved information access.
Reduce no of development projects & their cost, reduce no. of applns & their
training costs.
Other co. focused on ease & time saved in accessing business info.

Decision Support Trends
During 1990s traditional managerial focus originating in classic mgt infosystems (MIS) (1960s). DSS(1970s) & EIS (1980s) was expanding
PC hardware & software suites, clients/server networks, networked PCversions of DSS/EIS software made DSS available to lower levels of mgtas well as non-managerial individuals
Trend accelerated with dramatic growth on Internet & Intranet &extranets
Expect easy & instant access to info & web enabled self service, dataanalysis.
Use of Business Intelligence BI tools by suppliers, customers, & otherbusiness stakeholders for CRM, SCM & other e-business applns.

Management Information Systems
original types of info system - developed to support managerial
decision making.
support day-to-day decision making needs of mgrs
specified information in advance
Predefined info products-satisfied needs at operational & tactical levels.
structured types of decision situation
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1
15/31
Eg. Sales mgr sales analysis reports to evaluate differences in
performance among sales people.
Periodic, exception & demand reports & immediate responses to
inquiries.
Web browsers, appln programs & database mgt software provide access
to info
Operational databases are maintained by transaction processing systems.
Data about business environment - obtained from Internet or extranet
databases
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1
16/31
Management Reporting Alternatives
a. Periodic Scheduled Report
Eg daily or weekly sales analysis reports & monthly financial statements
b. Exception Reports
Eg customers who exceed their credit limits
Exception reporting reduces information overload.
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1
17/31
c. Demand Reports & Responses
Info is available whenever the managers demands it.
DBMS query languages. & report generators - enable mgrs at PCworkstations to get immediate responses or
Obtain customized reports as a result of their requests
Thus mgrs do not have to wait for periodic reports to arrive as scheduled
d. Push Reporting
Pushed to mgrs networked workstation.
Many Cos. Use web casting software to selectively broadcast reports &other info to networked PCs of mgrs. Over their corporate intranet.

Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)
At a recent stockholder meeting, the CEO of Pepsi Co. D. Wayne
Calloway said: Ten years ago I could have told you how Doritos were
selling west of the Mississipi. Today, not only can I tell you how well they
are selling in California, in Orange county in the town of Irvine in the local
vans super market, in the special promotion, at the end ofAisle 4 on
Thursdays.

Competitive & dynamic nature of demands by mgrs can provide fast
answers to complex business queries.
Developments like analytical databases, data marts, data warehouses,
data mining techniques & multi dimensional database & with web enabled
software products support online analytical processing OLAP.
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1
20/31
Enables to interactively examine & manipulate large amount of detailed &consolidated data from many perspectives.
OLAP also involves complex relationships among thousands or evenmillions of data items. Stored in multidimensional databases
To discover patterns, trends & exception conditions
OLAP session takes place online in real time with rapid responses to amanagers or analysis queries so that their analytical or decision makingprocess is undisturbed.
OLAP involves several basic analytical operations includingconsolidation, drill down & slicing & dicing
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1
21/31
a. Consolidation
Involves aggregation of data
Can involve simple roll-ups or complex groupings involving interrelateddata
Eg. Sales offices can be rolled up to districts & districts rolled up toregions.
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1
22/31
b. Drill down
OLAP can go in reverse direction - & automatically display detail data
that comprise consolidated data
This called drill down
Eg sales by individual products or sales reps that make up a regions
sales totals could be easily accessed
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1
23/31
c. Slicing & Dicing
Ability to look at the database from different view points
One slice of sales database might show all sales of product type withinregions. Region wise /product wise
Another slice might show sales by sales channel within each product
type. Product wise / Sales channel wise
Slicing & Dicing is often performed along a time axis in order to analyze
trends & find time-based patterns in the data
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1

Decision Support Systems
Computer based info system that provide interactive info support tomanagers during the decision making process.
DSS Use :
1. Analytical models
2. Specialized databases
3. computer based modeling process to support the making ofsemi-structured & un-structured business decision.
Example
Sales reports contain sales performance figures by product line, salesperson, sales region & so on.
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1
25/31
DSS would also interactively show the effects on sales performance of
changes in a variety of factors such as
a. Promotion expense &
b. Sales person compensation.
DSS could use several criteria (Such as expected gross margin &
market share) to evaluate & rank several alternative combinations of
sales performance factors.
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1
26/31
So DSS are designed to be adhoc, quick response system that are
initiated & controlled by business decision makers.
So they able to directly support the specific types of decisions & personaldecision making styles.
Comparing DSS & MIS - Notes the major differences in the info & decision
support they provide

DSS Components
Unlike MIS, DSS rely on model bases as well as databases as vitalsystems resources.
A DSS model base is a software component that consists of models usedin computational & analytical routines that mathematically express
relationships among variables.
Spreadsheet program may have simple accounting relationship such asRevenue - Expenses = Profit
Or can have much more complex relationships. Eg. Might contain linear
programming models, multiple regression, forecasting models & capitalbudgeting present value models.
8/3/2019 Mis Dss Part1
29/31
Such models may be stored in the form of spreadsheet models ortemplates or statistical & mathematical program & Program modules.
DSS software packages can combine model components to createintegrated models that support specific types of decisions.
Contains built in analytical modeling routines & also enables you to buildyour own models
Many DSS packages-now available on micro-computer & web enabledversions.
Of course electronic spreadsheet packages also provide some of themodel building (spreadsheet models) & analytical modeling (what if & goalseeking analysis) offered by more powerful DSS software.

Geographical Information (GIS) & Data
Visualization Systems (DVS)
GIS Geographical Information Systems
GIS & DVS are special categories of DSS that integrate computergraphics & other DSS features.
Uses geographic databases to construct & display maps & othergraphic displays that support decision affecting geographic distribution ofpeople & other resources
Many Cos. are using GIS technology-along with global positioning system(GPS) to help them choose new retail store locations optimizedistribution routes oranalyze the demo graphics of their targetaudiences.
For eg. Cos. Like Levi strauss, Arbys, Consolidated Rail & FederalExpress use GIS packages to integrate maps, graphics & othergeographic data with business data from spreadsheet & statisticalpackages.
