If KPI’s aren’t interpretable, how do we provide the necessary context to a report to make it actionable? That’s the job of model building – which is why building models into reports is the right way to go. The Measurement Minute makes the case for Analytic Reporting.

Technologies are only really interesting after they’ve passed through their time on the hype cycle. Here at Digital Mortar, we tried as hard as we could not to get too involved in IoT – but that didn’t work out so well.
