The view "through the windshield," however, has largely been based on siloed, simplified roll-ups of those numbers crunched in desktop spreadsheets. With neither the near-real-time access to granular data nor the tools to analyze it, many significant opportunities or pitfalls looming ahead simply can't be anticipated.
