From Data to Decisions to Value : Turning information overload into real outcomes

Every organisation sits on a mountain of data, builds new platforms, and experiments with AI. Yet the key question remains: how much of this activity creates value that leaders can see and measure? Data in isolation delivers little; without clear decisions, it clutters rather than clarifies. The task is shifting from stockpiling information to making better, faster decisions that scale across every channel and moment that matters.  How to close the gap between data investments and business outcomes?

Explore Oriflame's mission of fulfilling dreams through their global network of independent beauty consultants in this engaging video. Discover how they tackle integration challenges with the help of Software AG's webMethods, connecting with partners worldwide, including 80 banks and couriers.

What is your company’s mission?
 
“Oriflame’s mission has been related and defined for many years as fulfilling dreams. For better understanding, Oriflame is a company selling cosmetics through a global network of independent beauty consultants, we call them brand partners. An important part is motivation of the salesforce.”
 
What problem did your organization face?
 
“We were already centralized quite a lot, but even with the centralized solution which was centered around a few systems, we felt we really needed a better approach for integration. To being more alignment in how those systems are integrated in between each other but also how those work with our partners.”
 
How is webMethods supporting your business goals?
 
"If we have more control over integration, we are much more flexible when it comes to system implementation challenges like onboarding different partners, for example banks. We are now connected to 80 banks around the world producing payment orders, receiving bank statements, everything is channeled through the platform. We have very tight integration with couriers delivering our products to the brand partners or the final consumers.”
 
How would you describe your relationship with Software AG?
 

“First of all, it’s a long-term partnership.”

“We need you. A lot. We are seeking best practices, we are seeking your advice, we are seeking advice from customers because we understand – we are on the edge. So, tight cooperation is really needed here.”

Embark on a culinary journey through the ever-evolving world of digital leadership with our third edition of the CIONET Cookbook: Recipes for Digital Success. Unveiling the intricate trilemma faced by today’s Master Chefs, our trailblazing European CIOs address a challenge at the nexus of customer interests, digital transformation strategies, and IT modernisation. Their secret? Synchronising the gearing between customer, business, and technology to create a frictionless movement through the digital landscape.

The CIONET Cookbook uses the analogy of a five-star restaurant to explain the importance of optimally integrated technology, with the CIO as Master Chef. In order to provide the best service to its customers, a top restaurant must have the right atmosphere, an inviting menu, a well-equipped kitchen, talented and committed front-of-house and kitchen staff and smooth-running processes that ensure an enjoyable experience for diners.
