BOSS - Customer-Focused Data Management System for Continuous Improvement
Why use BOSS?
BOSS, or Business Operating Systems Software enables companies to apply a logical
order to everyday data. Generally companies are data-rich and analysis-poor. When
the data available is overlooked, it can't be utilized to formulate solutions and
maximize a company's potential. BOSS provides the data for problem solving and decision
analysis and it allows companies to align customer expectations to key processes
and on to improvements.
