Technology is just one of many elements that combine to deliver BI success. We believe that if technology is addressed in a vacuum, without considering all other business aspects, the BI impact is greatly reduced.
Every aspect of business needs to be considered... technology and data absolutely but the people involved, the processes required, organisational issues, infrastructure limitations and concerns, governance requirements and of course internal project buy-in and sponsorship must all be part of the process.
We see a well designed and executed Business Intelligence strategy as the glue that binds all of these elements, creating a cohesive, focused approach and ultimately a successful business, or as we term it, an intelligent business.
