Emtec, Inc. Proprietary & Confidential. All rights reserved 2013.
8. BI Challenges - Business
•Data access: Data is not available when needed by decision makers
•Multiple data silos: Access databases pulled data from EBS for departmental BI
•Total IT dependency: Reports had to be run by IT against source systems
•Excel-based reporting: Only reporting tool for business user
•Manual calculations: All KPI calculated manually in Excel
•Only static reports: Business users cannot drill into the actual issues
•Delay in accessing business critical data: Delays from 2-6 weeks
•No standard definitions: Risk of inconsistent calculations and meanings
•Multiple reports for same information: Stitching and recalculation efforts
Emtec, Inc. Proprietary & Confidential. All rights reserved 2013.
9. BI Challenges - IT
•Disparate data silos: Through acquisitions and multiple data capturing tools, there
are several data silos within organization
•Poor data quality: No data governance in place on both business and IT side. Data
duplication and conflicts are common
•IT as reporting warehouse: IT was overwhelmed with all ad-hoc report
requirements from business
•Multiple reporting tools: 2nd and 3rd generation tools required IT involvement for all
report development
•Broken stream of data: IT is forced to generate multiple reports for a single request.
Business would combine results to form a final report. This would result in multiple versions
of truth
•Transactional system overload: EBS is overloaded with duplicate report runs on
daily basis against live data
