SEX and BI

Writing by Jorgen on Tuesday, 16 of December , 2008 at 3:57 pm

What makes Business Intelligence successful? Why is one project turning out great and the other one a complete failure? I wish I had the answer to this but I don’t. What I do know – see my previous blogs – is that BI has to be super fancy sexy. This means that any BI solution should look great which greatly increases the changes of success. The last time I blogged on this topic I had 5000% more traffic on my blog (google term: BI SEXY). So to all my new readers please react to below mentioned best practices and see if you share this. Please react and become a BI GURU yourself. Design phase

Think about targetgroups (different users have different needs)

Think about usage (adhoc and structured )

Build phase

Go for quality instead of quantity

Mix your team (functional and technical)

Implementation phase

Don’t stop after build.

Support BI by forming a competence center

Find high level support (thougtleadership, inspiration much more than sponsorship)
