Real-Time Business Intelligence Drives Decisions

Micro Apps: The Key to Real-Time Business Intelligence

As a senior consultant with over 25 years of experience, I’ve worked with countless companies struggling to keep up with the pace of their operations, drowning in data but lacking the tools to turn that data into actionable real-time business intelligence. One of the most powerful solutions I’ve discovered is the use of micro apps – lightweight, purpose-built applications that can be quickly deployed to field teams and floor staff, giving them the data they need to make informed decisions in real-time.

‘Micro apps are a game-changer,’ says Jane, a operations manager I recently worked with. ‘They allow us to stay ahead of issues and respond to changes on the fly.’

• Micro apps tackle one problem at a time, avoiding unnecessary complexity and ensuring user-friendliness by focusing on specific tasks.
• By promoting rapid iterations, testing with real users, and quickly adopting feedback, this approach allows for quick identification and correction of issues, minimizing wasted resources.
• Micro apps evolve incrementally, continuously improving and adapting to changing business needs.

The Micro App Strategy

The Micro App Strategy embraces “Fail Fast,” “KISS,” and “Evolution over Revolution” principles, delivering small, targeted functionality per app to address traditional app development challenges like high costs, lengthy timelines, and complexity, using simple and modern drag-and-drop and AI-based tools.
