This post will introduce you some basics of Microsoft Visual C ++ such as its definition, evolution and compatibility.
What Is Microsoft Visual C ++
Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC), an integrated development environment (IDE) product, is used for C, C++/CLI programming languages. C++ is a general-purpose programming language that supports static data type. It checks and supports multiple programming paradigms. In this post of MiniTool, more information about Microsoft Visual C++ will be uncovered to you.
Besides, it supports a variety of programming styles such as program design, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and generic programming.
MSVC is a proprietary product. It was an independent product from the very beginning, but it became a part of Visual Studio and was available as trial software and free software. It has tools for developing and adjusting C++ code, especially the code for Windows API, DirectX and .NET.
Many applications need Microsoft Visual C ++ redistributable runtime library packages to function properly. These packages are usually installed independently of the application, allowing multiple applications to use the package and only need to be installed once.
These Microsoft Visual C ++ redistributable components and runtime package are primarily installed in the standard libraries used by many applications.
If you often use Microsoft Visual C++, you may have an interest in this post: MiniTool Power Data Recovery Error Code 14001
The Evolution of Microsoft Visual C++
The predecessor of Visual C++ was called Microsoft C/C++. There is also a Microsoft QuickC 2.5 and a Microsoft QuickC for Windows 1.0. The Visual C++ compiler is still called Microsoft C/C++. Since the release of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Update 2, the version number is 19.00.23918.
At the beginning, C++ appeared as an enhanced version of the C language. Starting with adding classes to the C language, new features are constantly added. The development process of C++ can be divided into three phases.
The first phase was from the 1980s to 1995. At this stage, the C++ language is basically an object-oriented language of the traditional type, and with the efficiency of being close to the C language. It occupies a considerable share in the development language used by the industry.
The second phase was from 1995 to 2000. During this stage, due to the emergence of the standard template library (STL) and later libraries such as Boost, generic programming has occupied more and more weight in C++. Of course, as the appearance of Java, C# and other languages and the large-scale decline in hardware prices have given C++ a certain impact.
The third phase was from 2000 to now. Due to the emergence of production programming and template metaprogramming represented by of Loki, MPL and other libraries, C++ has emerged as new high in the development history.
The emergence of these new technologies and the integration with the original technology have made C++ as the most complex member of today's mainstream programming language.
In addition, as far as learning C++ is concerned, it can be considered as an independent language because it does not rely on C language. Based on that fact, you can learn C++ directly without learning C language. Some people even think that C++ can completely replace C in most cases.
The Compatibility of Microsoft Visual C++
ABI: Visual C++ compiler ABI has historically changed between major compiler versions. This is especially true for STL containers, where the container size varies greatly between compiler versions.
Therefore, when you want to enable client code compiled with different compiler versions, Microsoft does not recommend using the C++ interface at the module boundary. Microsoft recommends using the C or COM interface instead of C++, which is designed to have a stable ABI between compiler versions.
C runtime library: Visual C++ contains different versions of C runtime libraries, which means that you can compiler code suing any available library. However, if you use different components in one application, this operation may result in some issues.
Microsoft recommends using the multi-threaded dynamic link library (/MD or /MDd compiler option) to avoid possible problems.
C: Though the product is evolved from IDE of C programming language, the compiler's support for the language for many years only conforms to the original version of the C standard. That can be tracked to 1989 but it does not conform to the revised version of the C99 standard.
Visual C++ 2013 finally added support for various C99 functions in its C mode, but it was still not complete. But it keeps improving to solve existed issues.

Urban Fur, Part II: Parsnip
Today as yours truly was knocking around north Brooklyn I embarked upon an inner journey of discovery (so as to distract myself from the stifling humidity). More specifically, I was musing to myself about how very few things surprise me anymore. Some would say this simply comes from living in New York City (and being jaded). I beg to differ: the mis-education of Miss Heather started long before that. For example, I recall while in collage going to a boyfriend's house unannounced and knocking on the door only to have him answer while wearing a slip and a bra. Was I surprised by this turns of events? Definitely. But did I lose my cool? Absolutely not. Rather, I calmly asked why he was dressed in such a manner. He, in turn, explained to me that it helps him relax. I cannot honestly say I understand this (bras and slips are hardly my cup of tea) but then again, I am not a guy. So it goes.
I mention the previous anecdote because today as I was strolling down North 6 Street I saw something rather extraordinary: a woman walking while chatting on a cell phone…
with a cat perched upon her shoulder.
Did I ask this lass why she had a cat on her shoulder? No. It has been my experience that asking questions can (and often does) result in answers for which one may not be prepared. (If this is unclear, gentle readers, please re-read the anecdote which kicks off this post.)
Rather, I inquired of her furry friend's name. She replied:
I found this to be a pretty nifty name.
As you can see, Parsnip was not the least bit distressed by doing a little shopping. He (or she) took it all in stride.
Which is exactly what I did. Just another day in Williamsburg, folks…
Miss Heather

Dental Anxiety & Sedation
Sedation Dentist Services Bethesda
Have you been avoiding the dentist due to anxiety or fear? If dental treatment causes anxiety, Pike District Smiles can help. Dr. Nikkhah offers a variety of sedation options as part of our Sedative Dentistry Services Bethesda, ensuring you receive the care you need without worry.
Dental anxiety affects 15-60% of people, but you're not alone. Sedation Dentist Services Bethesda offers comfort and ease for a worry-free visit.
Some patients in North Bethesda may have had a negative dental experience in the past, leading them to fear or avoid the dentist even when they need dental care. Others have developed anxiety regarding dental visits out of fear of pain, embarrassment, or lack of control.
Dr. Nikkhah is a compassionate dentist in Rockville who's dedicated to helping patients who suffer from dental anxiety and dental phobia get the treatment they need and feel comfortable at our practice. Pike District Smiles have the best Sedation Dentist Services Bethesda.
"I've been nervous going to the dentist in the past. Dr. Nikkhah and her staff made me feel at ease with their professional, caring manner. Dr. Nikkhah was patient, detailed and explained everything thoroughly. Best of all, she was gentle."
How Do You Know If You Have Dental Anxiety?
Although dental phobia and dental anxiety are different, people often use the terms interchangeably. Dental anxiety tends to be less severe than dental phobia, which is an extreme fear where people avoid the dentist at all costs, or if they do go, they may get physically ill before their appointment.
Everyone's experience will be different when it comes to dental anxiety and dental phobia, but some key signs are:
- Just the thought of the dentist or making an appointment makes you feel anxious or sick
- If you do make an appointment, you have trouble sleeping or have intense anxiety or nervousness before your appointment
- You may sweat, have a racing heart or low blood pressure when at the dental office
- You may feel like crying or actually cry when thinking of the dentist
- You may panic in the waiting room or when your exam is taking place
What Can Be Done About Dental Anxiety?
Your comfort is always our first priority at Pike District Smiles. We know how intimidating and impossible it can feel to make the first step, but be assured that we're here to listen to your concerns. Come in and speak with us and together we'll develop a plan for how to help you feel comfortable while getting the care you need.
The following are some of the things we've found to be helpful for patients suffering from dental anxiety and phobia.
Inform and Empower
Sometimes, just having the information you need about what's going to happen during an appointment can help ease anxiety. Our team keeps you informed before, during, and after your procedure so you know what's happening and why.
Listening to Music
Some patients find that listening to music during their appointment helps. For most of our procedures, we allow the use of personal headphones and music. This can be a great way to help patients relax while in the dental chair and to pass the time.
Take Breaks
We also allow you to take breaks during your appointment to better manage your anxiety or discomfort. We can agree on a signal beforehand and you can signal to us that you need a break as often as you'd like.
Sedation Options
To help patients who experience the distress associated with dental anxiety, we also offer sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry includes local anesthesia and nitrous oxide to help you get through your procedure.
Get in Touch with Us
We're happy to discuss your goals for your smile and help you overcome your dental anxiety.

Assessing Implementation of China's Climate Policies in the 12th 5-Year Period
This paper is a comprehensive, balanced assessment of China's efforts to reduce emissions and act on climate change since 2011. It identifies key actions to watch for in 2016 as the country unveils its next five-year plan (FYP).
Key Findings
The 12th FYP (2011-2015) period marked a new era in China's climate actions, recognizing that its climate policies shifted from a primary focus on setting broad goals or statements of priority, to an emerging climate policy framework comprised of specific policy instruments that drive emissions reductions.
China has set numerous climate and energy targets for the 12th FYP, many of which it will likely exceed. A closer look at China's climate policy framework finds that it has installed measurable and legally binding energy and climate targets, increased effort to enhance data infrastructure, clearly defined responsibilities among government bodies, piloted market mechanisms to diversify its policy instruments, and increased attention to building resilience to climate impacts.
For the 13th FYP period set to begin in 2016, the study identifies three key government actions that can have long-lasting impacts on China's emissions:
Limiting energy and coal consumption
Capping GHG Growth
Implementing national carbon pricing scheme
To continue to build on current progress towards its vision of low-carbon development, China can enhance transparency and data accuracy, strengthen its policy enforcement and compliance mechanisms, develop more concrete policies to advance carbon capture and storage and other reduction opportunities, improve policy coordination, encourage further innovations in policy making; and develop a more comprehensive system for tracking the implementation and impact of its policies.

Are Daily Deals Good for Merchants?
By: Sunil Gupta, Timothy Keiningham, Ray Weaver and Luke Williams
In the relatively short time since Groupon was founded, the response to "daily deals"—services that promote businesses by marketing deeply discounted, pre-paid vouchers to an online subscriber base—has by all accounts been spectacular. Our evaluation of daily deals is a cautionary tale for merchants: a substantial percentage are unlikely to benefit, and might well lose money, by using this type of campaign. But a careful analysis of the right data provides clear indicators of both what types of merchants are likeliest to benefit, and which factors that influence profits should receive the most management attention.

Did you know that the health of your thyroid plays a critical role in achieving pregnancy? What many people don't know is that thyroid issues can be sneaky; developing and often worsening silently over time. Thyroid health decline may potentially progress as a cascade of changing thyroid function. It goes like this, if you develop Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, it could result in or cause an underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism, impacting the proper function of the thyroid gland and your fertility health. If treated aggressively with medication, there is potential for hypothyroid symptoms to shift to those of overactive thyroid, or hyperthyroidism (and vice versa, hyperthyroidism treated too aggressively could transform into hypothyroidism).
The thyroid gland is important for fertility health because it plays a role in hormone balance, a healthy menstrual cycle and libido, even basal body temperature (BBT). The thyroid absorbs iodine and combines it with L-tyrosine to make thyroid hormones. These hormones are responsible for healthy metabolism, growth, development and repair of the each and every cell of the body, most importantly the central nervous system of a fetus.
What is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, also known as Hashimoto's Disease (and frequently just referred to as Hashimoto's) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are accompanied by an elevated inflammatory response due to the body identifying various organs and systems of the body as a foreign invader. This immune system attack may lead to the loss of, and degeneration of tissue and/or organ structure and function.
Who Develops Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?
Hashimoto's thyroiditis can occur in men and women, but scientists and doctors know it to be more of an issue for women between the ages of 30 and 50 with a family history of thyroid issues, or other autoimmune disorders. It has been proven that genetics, gender (sex hormones might play a role), not having enough iodine circulating in the body, certain medications, exposure to radiation and even pregnancy [in woman] are all potential contributors to why women and men suffer from this autoimmune disease.
At the core of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, is systemic inflammation caused by the body chronically attacking the thyroid gland as a result of mistaking the thyroid for a harmful substance. A thyroid gland under attack is not able to properly make the thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), that regulate how the body uses energy known as our metabolism – in short, the thyroid gland is not able to make enough thyroid hormone to meet the body's needs – and hypothyroidism can result. It is believed that hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's Thyroiditis progresses slowly over months, even years.
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Fertility
It is very important to solve thyroid problems before conceiving a baby. If Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is left untreated, symptoms of an underactive thyroid can worsen and cause fertility problems including: menstrual cycle issues such as menorrhagia (heavy menstruation) or irregular periods, low basal body temperature (BBT), low libido, muscle cramps/tenderness, hair loss, severe PMS, sleep disturbances and weight gain, problems getting pregnant and infertility, miscarriage, preterm birth and even neurodevelopmental issues for your baby.
Learn How To Support Your Thyroid Naturally With My Thyroid Mini-Course
- Learn how to support your thyroid naturally with nutrition, supplements and plants.
- Know how to tell whether your thyroid, endocrine system or/and adrenals needs support
- Self-care therapies to support your thyroid and endocrine system
Natural Thyroid Health Support Plan
The idea here is to support metabolism and a healthy inflammatory response through diet, exercise and herbs.
Nutrition – Diet
Many healthcare practitioners suggest when you learn you have or suspect an autoimmune disease, to immediately start an elimination diet to remove foods that have the potential to contribute to inflammation. By eliminating specific foods you will help the body work to normalize inflammatory response, balance hormones and support the thyroid gland in producing hormones (likewise helping the body convert these hormones).
What to Consider Eliminating from Your Diet…
- Gluten – "The gluten molecule is very similar to thyroid tissue, and it is thought that the immune system identifies the thyroid gland as gluten and attacks it."
- Non-organic dairy – non-organic dairy contains the synthetic growth hormone rGBH which has been found to increase inflammation in humans (even those without autoimmune diseases).
- Unsaturated oils – doctors speculate that these oils may contribute to hypothyroidism possibly in part because they contain high amounts of omega-6 fatty acids which promote inflammation and are often rancid even before they make it to the grocery store shelf.
- Soy – soy isoflavones are known to disrupt endocrine system function and may lower concentrations of the thyroid hormone T3.
- Iodized salt – Many resources say to use iodized table salt when you have a thyroid health issue, but integrative nutritionists tend to disagree. These practitioners say it is highly unlikely one would be able to eat enough iodized table salt to get the 150 mcg daily recommended dosage of iodine, but mostly because it is not advisable to consume such a processed product that often contains fillers- like sugar and silicates.
Following a Fertility Diet rich in high-quality proteins and fats, with a variety of fresh, whole, organic vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, and whole grains, even Fertility Superfoods is a critical step on the path to supporting healthy thyroid function.
What to Consider Including in Your Diet In Addition to the Fertility Diet…
- With goiter – consume goitrogens or foods that block the body's ability to use iodine like cabbage, turnips, mustard greens, peanuts, pine nuts and millet (Notes: cooking these foods may inactivate goitrogens).
- Without goiter – consume rich sources of iodine – sea vegetables like kelp, dulse, nori, wakame and kombu, ocean fish, and unprocessed sea salt.
Nutritional Supplementation
- Selenium – the richest food source is the Brazil nut, just one provides nearly 100 percent of your recommended daily amount of selenium, a nutrient that protects against oxidative damage as well.
- Zinc – beef, liver, chicken (all organic, grass-fed or free range), oysters, nuts and seeds, and whole grains.
- Tyrosine – high-protein foods like turkey, chicken, dairy, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, lima beans, even avocados.
- Vitamins A, D, E, C and B
- Whole food multivitamin
- Essential fatty acids
- Antioxidants – known to be necessary to combat the free-radical damage caused by chronic inflammation.
Click here to learn more about a nutritional and herbal supplement for thyroid health…
Adaptogenic Herbs for Stress Management and Adrenal Support
These will help to support energy levels and vitality (metabolism or metabolic function) and even reduce the damage from oxidative stress.
- Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis) – stimulate the thyroid, are adrenal and reproductive system tonics, and support the body's natural inflammatory response.
- Rhodiola root (Rhodiola rosea) – is a potent source of antioxidants that supports endocrine system function for hormone balance, healthy immune system function and stress relief.
- Natural thyroid support – My favorite nutritional supplement specially formulated for thyroid gland support.
- Systemic Enzyme Therapy – supports proper immune system function and a healthy immune response in people with an autoimmune disease like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
- Employ relaxation techniques and exercise a minimum of 30 minutes 5 times a week.
An underactive thyroid gland has been found to be very responsive to natural support through dietary changes and supplementation, as well as medical support through prescription thyroid medications. Since thyroid hormone medication is often indicated, the above dietary recommendations are meant to be in addition to medical therapy, not in place of it, and it is best to consult your healthcare provider if you wish to supplement in addition to the medication you are taking. Consider these simple changes and know that in creating a practice that supports your thyroid health, you are supporting your overall fertility health and the health of your baby too.
Note: Herbs and herbal combinations indicated for hyperthyroidism are contraindicated in cases of hypothyroidism and vice versa. Herbs and herbal combinations should not be combined with thyroid replacement therapies and/or medications. Those wishing to supplement with herbs, or herbal combinations to support their thyroid health should work with their healthcare provider to be monitored regularly with thyroid testing.

For its production of "The Niceties," the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's Leah Harris said she planned to emphasize audience conversation. Though she was not part of organizing the theater's season, Harris, director of the Rep's ACT II community engagement program explained her enthusiasm about the conversation possibilities the story opens up.
ACT II is responsible for facilitating discussions about shows with complex or contentious themes. Harris described ACT II topics as things "that are going to provoke you and ask you to lean into those more controversial topics."
Previous themes that ACT II has facilitated conversations over have included mental health, the Ferguson shootings and gun violence.
This time for "The Niceties," running at the Repertory Theater through Nov. 3, ACT II tackles racism and historical biases, and "how we're telling (history) and aren't telling it."
Set in 2016, the drama's plot centers on Zoe Reed, a student of color — played by Kimber Elayne Sprawl — and her intense dialogue with her professor Janine Bosko — played by Kate Levy — over Zoe's paper on the exclusion of African Americans from the Revolutionary War. Through complex discussion, the two characters quarrel over their understandings of who tells America's story and how their identities fit into it.
ACT II held a post-show panel Oct. 11 featuring James Marten, professor and chair of the Department of History at Marquette, alongside two other panelists. Besides Marten, the panel featured Emilio De Torre, the ACLU of Wisconsin director of community engagement and Amanda Seligman, a professor of history and urban studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Part of the reason Harris said she was enthusiastic about this panel was its thematic relevance to academia.
"I wanted to connect to universities (because of the play's subject matter)," Harris said. "In the show's second act, (the production) dives into how academia's systems have been problematic to marginalized communities," she said.
"This play, I think, offers a very interesting platform to talk about a lot of really complex things," Harris said. "(It offers) a platform to talk about relationships between professors and students, relationships between black women and white women, relationships between each of those identities in history and how (they) view (it)."
"The relationship between a professor and a student is reciprocal," Harris said. Even though the play is high-stakes and intense, she said she hopes it opens some doors for how we view those relationships.
She said the Rep's connection with Marquette provided a great opportunity for students to get involved in this conversation.
"We're doing a program on campus … at the beginning of November, a couple of days after the show closes," Harris said. "Marquette professors have been inviting their students to come see the show during our College Nights with discounted ticket rates … (and have been) asking them to put together their own reflections."
Harris said the organization's core beliefs and values include providing engaging and entertaining — but also provocative — art that makes audiences think beyond their own world views.
Carly Christensen, a student of Levy who gave a short pre-show talk, said she was challenged by "The Niceties."
"I'm questioning my own behavior and how I am (as a white woman) … good and bad, so it resonates (on that level)," Christensen said.
When the curtains closed and the lights dimmed, the standard pre-show etiquette disclaimer said to react appropriately if so moved. "Throw (tomatoes) if so moved," an audience member whispered to himself.
Throughout the first half, laughter was not always universal, occurring when jokes were not made or in response to dead air.
At intermission, Nick Caputo, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, said he was on the edge of his seat and that he did not know what was going to happen.
The post-show panel involved discussions of historical scholarship, historical interpretations and academia's limitations.
The panel was supposed to include a fourth panelist, Taylor Barnes, a senior at Rufus King International Baccalaureate High School, but Barnes was unable to attend due to illness. Barnes was the only person of color invited as a panelist.
Marten said the story of "The Niceties" hit close to home.
"(I feel like the student and I) are talking past each other," Marten said. "(I've had it happen where) you have a student who you don't know why they're talking this way. … What I realize for African Americans, Native Americans (and many others), is this isn't history, this is life. (In a way), we're all historians."
Seligman had a different response to the story. She took the issue with the play's notion that Bosko is a prestigious professor at an accredited institution, yet is as closed-minded about Reed's research as she is portrayed to be. "Transformation has happened and people are writing about race in history more often than ever before," she said.
"Anyone can actually be a historian now," Seligman added. "The problem for historians in the 21st century is justifying why our opinion matters."
Circling back to his earlier point, Marten said he found it "interesting that, in the play, (Bosko) is thinking about jobs (and) Zoe is thinking about life … and that's how they're talking past each other." He also said there is "not much of an appetite for history because we're all doing different things (with our lives)."
"Milwaukeeans are hungry for history," Seligman countered, "but academic historians don't practice making their writing accessible."
De Torre posed a question about whether it is academia's responsibility to be accessible, to which Seligman said many conversations have been happening. She said this is because of many professors feeling like they are "squeezed out" by an "austerity culture" in academia.
"They are also being asked to do much more with much less," Seligman said. "We have aspirations, but academic structures can be limiting."
Marten also responded. "It's a lot of burden to put on a professor for the whole story to be on them," he said. "This is the current we're swimming against."
Seligman concluded her opinions by saying Bosko "still was a plausible portrayal of a professor," but one who would not be a respected scholar.
In the panel's audience question segment, Maaz Ahmed, a sophomore in the College of Communication, countered Seligman's stance.
"In discussing how (history scholarship) is not accurately portrayed here, I feel like we're losing that discourse," Ahmed said. "This piece's (goal) is to understand our own implicit biases."
Marten addressed Ahmed's point, saying history is about research and memory. He explained the latter is a loaded topic for race in America because cruelty erased many records. "You're right, we shouldn't get caught up in those details," Marten said.
A member of the audience raised her hand, saying that she works at a public school and still sees "mostly white men" teaching history about which they have little knowledge.
Marten and Seligman agreed with her. Marten said it is easiest to teach big events like dates, whereas social history is much harder. Seligman said access to authentic history for people of color is "hit or miss."
Pia Russo, a sophomore in the College of Education, offered her own response. Being an undergrad in history, theater and teaching, she said there has been a lot of talk of change — of getting away from "powerful white men" history — but she said one of her history classes barely talks about people of color. She went on to say the history of people of color is made to feel like not much more than a "fun tidbit" compared to the "real" history: white history. To her, her class effectively downplayed the significance of the history of people of color. She ended by saying it is not one person's fault.
As the panel ran out of time, an audience member criticized its members' complexion, saying that the historians both being white and the fact there was only one person of color on the panel says a lot about the play's relevance.

What are the factors that affect the price of IT support?
Like almost anything, IT support costs need to be calculated based on the menu options that are chosen in order to fit the business requirements. In that sense, many organisations might seem like they'd pay the same price, but because they're getting different meal deals, their costs are different.
How many users do you have and what devices do they use?
How many employees are needing to be supported? 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, more? Generally speaking, the more employees you have, the less you will pay per user.
What kind of infrastructure do you have?
The age and type of infrastructure that you need to support will also often affect your costs. Do you have on-premise servers (private cloud), or hybrid cloud? Or are you fully in the public cloud? Do you have a traditional PBX telephone system with handsets, or are do you have cloud calling and softphones? Ageing systems or onsite infrastructure need onsite support, whereas if you're fully in the cloud, the majority of support can be remotely performed.
What types of services do you need?
Communications, infrastructure, migrations, security, monitoring, training, change management. It all depends on what your business needs and uses. You might not need everything covered, or you might need all of it.
What level of support do you need?
Some organisations have partial in-house IT, or at least, someone that can perform certain tasks, whereas others have no one in-house that can be the go-to IT resource. Partial coverage, or full coverage can be part of that assessment for your quote. In addition, the time you need your IT support available is also something to be decided. Do you need office hours only, or 24×7? Will you need onsite support often or is remote support the only kind you will need?

Any manager who wants to be effective and efficient in his or her job should meet three requirements: manage correctly and care for the well-being and satisfaction of the team; retain talent within the team in order to keep knowledge and expertise 'in the family'; and last but not least, attain the objectives imposed by the company and report adequately on them to Top Management.
Requirements for Optimal Performance
The first two requirements can be learned and developed with experience and training, best-in-class recruiting processes and by offering attractive compensation packages in line with the market. No manager is born with these skills. They must be acquired and are so complex that no company can provide them all. However, companies can obviously provide their managers with tools that allow them to monitor their objectives and report on them. And this is where business reporting and business statistical tools come into play, for instance, the already well-known scorecards, which are visual management tools, key performance indicators, and statistical data.
Managers handle a great amount of information they must store, manage and analyze to be able to make informed decisions. That information comes from different sources: e-mails, mobile devices, social media, etc. Well, statistical business applications precisely allow consolidating all this data and turning it into useful and meaningful information. They usually offer a wide range of statistical business procedures that make it possible to perform accurate analyses, prepare data so that these analyses can be made quickly and easily, and help prepare high-quality reports and graphics. All this without forgetting visualization capabilities that clearly show the meaning of the conclusions drawn from the analyses.
The Advantages of Business Statistic Tools
The specific benefits of statistical tools abound, but they could be summarized into five:
- Visibility: Managers know exactly what is going on across the business, which helps them manage it better.
- Ongoing improvement: As Peter Drucker, a management guru of the 20th century, said "if you can't measure it, you can't improve it"; a quote perfectly applicable to a company's performance.
- Time savings: Managers spend a lot of time gathering data from different systems in the company and generating reports from this information. Statistical applications are strong allies in this sense, because they show the latest results from each report, thus saving a precious time.
- Performance monitoring: All managers spend many hours drawing up business plans. However, this is only the beginning of the journey. What comes afterwards is making sure plans are on track, since scorecards automatically display in real time where the company is vis-à-vis the expectations of the plans designed.
- Employee productivity improvement: When an employee knows that their performance is being measured and they can also see it easily, their first reaction is to improve it.
It is not too difficult to illustrate some of these advantages. Let's put an example that any multinational firm experiences frequently. If the company sends its best sales representative to close a deal to the other side of the Atlantic, they'd better be aware of the fact that the employee's mobile consumption has rocketed in just one day and broadly exceeds the telephone budget for the whole trip. In this way, the company could undertake measures such as blocking the mobile phone.
Likewise, business statistical tools are a gold-mine for the people responsible for designing marketing campaigns, since they help them adapt the campaigns to real market requirements at the exact moment. That is to say, they manage to know that at 10 p.m. the majority audience of a certain channel are men between 30 and 40 and, therefore, they decide to broadcast a car commercial.
As far as document management software firms are concerned, statistical business solutions allow their clients to optimize their processes, since they know at all times what processes require more resources, the amount of time each process has taken, and the physical space on disk and data bases the resulting files have occupied.
The Scorecard as Main Challenge
Now there are only some challenges this type of business statistical applications have to face. The first one is the selection of the metrics that underlie the analyses they make. If managers choose the right indicators, the resulting statistics will be more reliable. The second one is that scorecards should be built by using APIs or application programming interfaces with corporate systems. The option of employees entering data manually into the scorecard involves too many risks (incomplete, wrong, obsolete data, etc.). And let us not forget that it should be possible to see the results on any web browser instead of storing them in individual computers. In this way, any person who needs to access the data can do it easily.
