The challenge is that you have to iterate through the mockups before ever getting to the product. Instead, start simple. Use Excel and iterate directly on the product. </p><p>www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-mann-80855a1a/</p><p>www.stratosconsulting.com</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In business, time is everything. So is real-time really worth it? Nicho argues we should not only consider how quickly businesses need to get data the first time, but how quickly businesses should get data the second, third, and fourth times, based on use case. In the pharmaceutical industry, you're not the only one with access to this data, it's doubly important to be able to pull the data beyond the first time. </p><p>www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-mann-80855a1a/</p><p>www.stratosconsulting.com</p>]]>
