Daniel Newman, principal analyst of Futurum Research and CEO of Broadsuite Media Group, wrote an article in Forbes about how Cloud monitoring can give you better insights about your employees. Daniel points out that analyzing Cloud data can teach you a lot about how employees are using different software, whether they’re following compliance rules, and even areas where your Cloud may not be as safe as it should be. Having better employee insights can drastically improve the way your organization and your ERP system run.

They want to use the abundance of data to drive better outcomes, see the signals adapt faster, and run their organizations smarter, more efficiently, and securely. As businesses seek more transparency, business insight, and greater levels of control and governance, they are realizing their need for the Cloud. This need comes from the rapid pace of change in business and technology. Seismic changes include e-commerce, travel and entertainment, mobile, geolocation, hospitality, IoT, rideshare, VR bots, crypto, virtual assistants, Machine Learning and AI.
