I am trying to improve the lead section and the "CDM and business intelligence" sections. Ramya Priya (talk) 04:06, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Improving the lead section

[edit]

Collaborative decision-making (CDM) is a software application or module that helps to coordinate and disseminate data and reach consensus among work groups.[1]Increase in the competition of the marketplaces, changing organizational structures and pushing the limits of expectations and emerging new challenges for higher officials to deal with international collaborations   are all the influence of globalization on the businesses.[2]The need to deal with multicultural collaborative groups working in distributed environments to recover from   with uncertainty, change, indefinite problem definitions and changing information called for collaborative technologies.[2] CDM software coordinates the functions and features required to arrive at timely collective decisions, enabling all relevant stakeholders to participate in the process. The core principle of CDM software is that good decisions are not made in isolation in response to an individual’s idea or individual piece of data. They require shared knowledge and analysis of a combination of different pieces of information.[3]Earlier forms of CMC tools can also be effective for facilitating communication and developing working relationships, but the demand from globalization and the pressure of taking best decisions has increased.[4] The selection of communication tools is very important for high end collaborative efforts. Online collaboration tools are very different from one another, some use older forms of Internet-based technologies whereas others are using “Web 2.0”.[4]Wikis, blogs, forums, RSS, feeds, opinion polls, social networking and community chats are some of the instances for potential communication tools. The practice of these Web 2.0 tools, is now commonly known as Collaboration 2.0, which increases the quality of practical collaborations such that it looks almost similar to a conventional face to face forms of collaboration.[4]Managing and working in virtual teams is not any task but it is being done for decades now. The most important factor for any virtual team is decision making. All the virtual teams have to discuss, analyze and find solutions to problems through continuous brain storming session collectively.[5]An emerging enhancement in the integration of social networking and business intelligence (BI),has drastically improvised the decision making by directly linking the information on BI systems with collectively gathered inputs from social software.[5]

Nowadays all the organizations are dependent on business intelligence (BI) tools so that their employers can make better decisions based on the processed information in tools.[5]The application of social software in Business Intelligence (BI) to the decision-making process provides a significant opportunity to tie information directly to the decisions made throughout the company.[4]198.111.39.224 (talk) 21:53, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CDM and business intelligence(added citations)

[edit]

Web 2.0 collaboration tools have reached the mass collaboration expectations by crossing the limits of web 1.0 collaboration tools. These tools provide a user controlled environment with social software in an inexpensive and flexible approach. The raise of collaboration 2.0 technologies are being quickly accepted in the corporate[4] .In 2009, Social and Collaborative Business Intelligence (BI) emerged as a new subcategory within the BI landscape[6].Social and Collaborative BI, a type of CDM software, harnesses the functions and philosophies of social networking and social Web 2.0 technologies, applying them to reporting and analytics at the enterprise level, to facilitate better and faster fact-based decision-making.This platform, like Web 2.0 technologies, is designed around the premise that anyone should be able to share content and contribute to discussion, anywhere and anytime[4] IDC predicted that 2011 would be the year where the trend of embedding social media style features into BI solutions would make its mark, and that virtually all types of business applications would undergo a fundamental transformation.[7] IDC also believed the emerging CDM software market would grow quickly, forecasting revenues of nearly $2 billion by 2014, with a compound annual growth rate of 38.2 percent between 2009 and 2014.[7]CDM software, in the context of BI, is the ability to share and institutionalize information, analysis and insight, which would otherwise be lost.[5]198.111.39.224 (talk) 21:58, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Class Assignment

[edit]

Hello Editors. This is class assignment for which I have to review an article that my peers have chosen as their project

  • I will begin by saying that the topic is informative and does succeed in providing good amount of information and guides the reader in the right direction.
  • Obviously the apparent problem is the references, not enough inline citations. Since the second half part required references, I found that it is probably from these articles [1] and [2]. Also some references don’t seem to be working
  • The lead Section – Here the lead section is only defining what it is. Doesn’t highlight what is going to be in the body. The first two lines are a bit repetitive, giving the same information that “the CDM software helps collaborate” Also it says that the application of social software in BI provides significant opportunity to tie information throughout the company but in the benefits section Gartner is predicting this application. So it makes me (a reader of the article) question whether such an application exists or is it being predicted?
  • CDM and business intelligence – The last sentence is taken from a dictionary. I am not sure if businessdictionary.com could be used as a source.
  • Benefits and Potential – The information that is posted is mostly predictions by various research. It would be nice to see some live examples of companies who have been able to procure benefits from the CDM software and how it affected their profits.
  • Components - The title “components” is questionable since what are described are functions. The word "elements" might be better instead of functions. Also the line could be framed as “There are 3 major elements that form the basis of a CDM platform and facilitate effective enterprise collaboration and networking”. Also after mentioning the “Components”, the components are changed into their respective present participle form like discussing instead of discuss. Hence it doesn’t seem consistent. So I feel going with “discussing and overlaying knowledge and business data” etc. in the first place.
  • I feel this sentence could be framed better . The second part of the sentence is confusing “The need for complex and costly travel arrangements is significantly reduced, with geographically dispersed stakeholders being able to participate in the exchange of information faster”.
  • Collectively deciding the best course of action – The title doesn’t suit here, since it’s more of a difference between social media platform and collaborative platforms.
  • Technology factors that underpin enterprise CDM – What the journal means is what components are important for it to be an effective CDM software. Like it is another way of saying the “must have features in a CDM software”. So I feel a simpler and more standard title could be used here.

Overall I feel the article could be improved by having simpler and standard titles for sections. Also at some places , the content could to phrased better for ease of understanding. Thank you ! Aishwarya889 (talk) 03:26, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ARTICLE REVIEW

[edit]

Collaborative decision making software is the trending concept and I would say you guys made a good choice. I reviewed the article and thought the article need some improvements.

1. The article still speaks a lot about the collaboration made in the beginning years of the web 2.0 technology which are not used by many people. So, try to update that.

2. I was kind of lost when I first started reading the article because the article does not have no pictures that gives the information about the article. Add pictures to improve the quality of the article.

3. Introduction is not so good, the editor jumped directly to the concept without saying none about the collaboration and how both software and collaboration linked up and so on.

4. Lastly, I feel that the article is big so be careful in dividing the work. Assign the work to everybody and work equally.Stadepell (talk) 03:25, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
