We are also looking at moving the more intense processes like materials requirement planning (MRP) and processes requiring real-time optimizations into our in-memory processing engine xxxx iPO (formerly known as xxx). Integrating Google Maps for location-aware services and offering data visualization to help executives with a “boardroom view” and empower them to take more informed decisions will be another focus area.

disagree  Daryo: contresens // that was my first impression [probably due to the stereotype of "boardroom" = bunch of villains with tunnel vision]- but that was before reading all the context info!

  -> I see your point - But it could perfectly well be exactly the opposite of what you say : data visualization can help managers see beyond the (restricted) boardroom view.

disagree  Daryo: " vision restreinte"? it's exactly the opposite - these executives are supposed to have a global view of the whole business "as seen from the top (the boardroom)"

perspective du conseil (d'administration)


Explanation:
In this text, a "boardroom view" isn't a restricted/limited view, as other answerers have understood it. You need to understand the whole phrase: 'to help executives with a “boardroom view”', as meaning to help them acquire a "boardroom view", not to lose it. A "boardroom view" is an overview of the business as a whole from the perspective of those wielding corporate power.

Note that, in the examples below, "a boardroom view" is considered to be good, not bad.

executives with a “boardroom view”
cadres / dirigeants [dont la vision / l'horizon est] au niveau du Conseil d'adminstration


Explanation:
executives with a “boardroom view” = their "horizon" is the whole company, now and in the future.

the "view" from the boardroom is supposed to cover the whole business, not just some limited part of it, as it would be the case for say middle management.

agree  B D Finch: "View" is what is seen, but also what is thought, as in "taking a view on" something.
