Top Executives

1. The system can collect data and then provide processed information to management to show what is happening. This monitoring allows better informed decisions and gives time to formulate tactics to solve problems. This can lead to better workflows and work ethics, increasing efficiency thus reducing costs or increasing output.

2. The system can manage workflows through controlled stages and guide employee focus through information provided. This reliably takes over some of the work of management, reducing stress and labour costs, and also allowing middle managers to shift more from controlling to mentoring.

8. The system can take over some of the tiresome, repetitious decision preparation tasks, for example when huge amounts of data are to be processed for overview. While doing it manually occasionally may not be a problem, freeing mid-management from this can make sure that it will be updated regularly and will not be neglected when other work is more pressing. This can save the company from costly mistakes.
