Top 5: Diablog

Writing by Jorgen on Friday, 15 of February , 2008 at 12:18 pm

My fellow blogger Frank Buytendijk and myself have been writing together about the 10 BI truths.  Now Frank has started an new episode with Top 5 list. Read his hilarious blog here: http://blogs.oracle.com/frankbuytendijk I have tried to come up with some top list myself. Business Intelligence improvements I love to see:

• Intelligent tools that offer solutions and/or decisions instead of information only;
• Effective visual communication of data adapting in form or functionality based upon the data provided and decision to make;
• Program or project managers that understand that BI is a first priority instead of something we also have to do sometimes;
• Make BI at C-Level (Chief Data Officer) mandatory or at least have BI thought leaders.

 Business Intelligence product names that I don’t want to see anymore:

• Everything with numbers (BI 2.0, Product 7.1)
• Everything with technical names like Server or SQL (it’s BUSINESS intelligence not IT intelligence!)

 Technology breakthroughs:

• All the stuff that Frank mentions especially the soundtrack system;
• Spam filters that understand that I do not need penis enlargements (!) but might be interested in cheap airline tickets;
• One card to replace all the cards that our now in my wallet (loyalty cards, payment cards, credit cards, access cards…..)
