Information Systems

Do you ever feel like you are making decisions without the facts you need? Do you worry that important information is missing?

It's a classic needle in the haystack problem. Somewhere in all the data you’re collecting are those key metrics you need to monitor in order to successfully guide your business. The rest of the data is often just a distraction from what's important.

If you were looking for real needles in a real haystack, there's only one simple tool that will do the trick - a magnet! A magnet clearly focuses on what's important. Likewise, a sharp focus on the key metrics is vital to your business.

At Ed Noyes Consulting we know how to analyze your processes and help you find those informational needles. We will then design a management reporting system to help you confidently make all your important decisions.
