How is SB3 different?
Conventional reporting systems hold a simplified picture of the business, modeled at a fixed moment in time. Any change to the model is slow and costly. So, conventional reporting software cannot adapt to keep pace with the real world and answer strategic questions about fixed moments in time.
SB3 is business model-driven and like the advertising industry, all information in SB3 is time based.
SB3 integrates data from multiple sources, and assumes that everything will change over time.
