Circa 2005, two managers show up to a meeting, each with a report in hand. The meeting intended to focus on why sales have declined in the Western Region turns into a debate about whose numbers are correct. After an hour, nothing is resolved.
Turn the clock to 2011. The two mangers, now executives with gray hair, again show up to a meeting to discuss why sales have declined in the Western Region. Now with iPads loaded with Oracle Business Intelligence, the conversation is a refreshing change from the 2005 debate about the accuracy of the numbers.

A quick email to the plant manager begins a dialog on how to resolve the problem.
