Today, companies are knee-deep in the information age. Information technology and market transparency have created a business environment that is more competitive than ever before. The speed at which the competitive environment changes calls for fast and accurate intelligence. Not just the facts of how your company was doing in the last quarter, but the 'business feel' of how the market is doing at this very instant.

Astragy counters information overload and provides a corporate truth that employees can rely and act upon, making your company more agile and better equipped to outwit competitors.

1Save time and money
IDC Research calculated that knowledge workers spend 35% of their time searching for information. They are succesful only half that time. The opportunity cost for not locating and retrieving information can amount to US$ 15 million per Fortune 500 company annually. Astragy saves money by dramatically reducing the time needed to find information and by automatically presenting the information in the right format.

2Improve insight into the market
True insight into your market and competitive position requires an abundance of information and the time and knowledge to place it in context. Astragy improves the insights of your managers by offering them the right information at the right time in the right context. This enables them to better serve customers and outwit and outmanouvre competitors.

3Improve speed and reliability of decisionmaking
Much of the information that enters a company comes from unverified sources and often different employees use different sources altogether. This allows for mistakes and incoherent decisionmaking. Astragy provides a single validated source of information to all employees, improving the quality of work throughout the organization.

4Improve accountability of decisionmaking
More and more, decisions need to be based on measurable (and reproducable) facts, rather than on ad-hoc gathered data, experience or gut feeling. Finding the right data, however, is costly and time consuming. Astragy reduces time and cost of fact-gathering by offering all relevant information in one single location. Accountable and consistent throughout the organization.

5Save on total cost of information
In most organizations different employees hold multiple subscriptions to the same information sources, such as magazines, databanks etc. Research reports are often bought more than once, because they are not shared throughout the company. Astragy saves money and time by centralizing the primairy sources of information into one globally available information portal.
