ADV Slides: Comparing the Enterprise Analytic SolutionsDATAVERSITY
Data is the foundation of any meaningful corporate initiative. Fully master the necessary data, and you’re more than halfway to success. That’s why leverageable (i.e., multiple use) artifacts of the enterprise data environment are so critical to enterprise success.
Build them once (keep them updated), and use again many, many times for many and diverse ends. The data warehouse remains focused strongly on this goal. And that may be why, nearly 40 years after the first database was labeled a “data warehouse,” analytic database products still target the data warehouse.

Critical success factors to develop and deliver a forward-looking BI strategy...SAP Analytics
sap.com/analytics - This SAPinsider #BI2015 session attendees will learn key elements of an effective BI strategy that benefits both IT and the core business alike.
A fable that was told in India many years ago. It is a good warning about how our sensory perceptions can lead to misinterpretations.
If I retold this story today to teach a lesson about BI, I might call it “Three blind analysts and a data warehouse.” Business people struggle every day to make sense of data, stumbling blindly, touching only small parts of the information, and coming away with a narrow and fragmented understanding of what it means. Conventional BI tools make it unnecessarily difficult to explore data from multiple perspectives, so analysts tend to pursue only a limited set of predetermined questions. It is simply too time consuming to explore the data thoroughly, allowing fresh discoveries to lead them to comprehensive and free-flowing exploration. Without the ability to examine data from multiple perspectives simultaneously, many of the meaningful relationships that exist in our data will remain hidden.
We stumble blindly and understand only in part, mostly because we are disabled by ineffective tools. BI solution makes it so easy to shift from one perspective to another while exploring and analyzing data that we, as analysts, are encouraged to pursue every question that arises during the process, almost as fast as we can think of them. Because we are not distracted by the mechanics of using the software or forced to go through time-consuming steps to get from one view of the data to another, we become immersed in the data and the analytical process. We are able to spend our time thinking about the data, not wrestling with the software.

Preparing Your Own Strategic BI Vision and Roadmap: A Practical How-To GuideOAUGNJ
No single organizational initiative warrants preparation, planning and strategy more than the decision to invest in a Business Intelligence (BI) Program. Many organizations make BI one of their priorities because of the organization’s leadership direction. From a strategic perspective, information remains as one of the most valuable assets to an organization. True organizational responsiveness begins with an alignment of organizational strategy to a BI program. You will not want to miss this opportunity to understand the methodology needed to develop a BI Strategic Vision and Roadmap for your organization.
This document discusses key challenges in business intelligence (BI) adoption and provides perspectives from industry experts. It outlines challenges such as lack of coordination between IT and business units and lack of connection between BI tools and corporate strategy. The document also discusses how BI can provide competitive advantage when used as part of a continuous process to gain insights rather than a one-time project. It concludes with contact information for follow up.
Business intelligence (BI) and business analytics (BA) both involve collecting and analyzing data to help organizations improve. BI focuses on using current and past data to optimize current operations and increase efficiency. BA focuses on using past and present data to analyze trends and prepare businesses for future changes by exploring new business models. The key difference is that BI aims to improve current performance, while BA aims to help strategic planning. The document provides examples of popular BI and BA software and discusses factors to consider when choosing between them, such as whether the goal is optimizing current operations or changing business strategies.
BI allows organizations to analyze large amounts of data from multiple sources to better understand their business and make informed decisions. It provides predictive analytics capabilities through tools like dashboards, reports, and data visualization. Implementing a successful BI system requires integrating data from across an organization's various databases and systems, defining important KPIs, and providing users with self-service analytics tools to track metrics and receive alerts. BI has been shown to increase financial performance, speed of decision making, and ability to execute decisions as intended.
