Traditional Business Intelligence Tools
A traditional, large scale business intelligence program requires the selection of multiple vendors and needs very careful management and orchestration to deliver a solution that meets your
expectations within the planned timetable and cost. These programs typically go live a year or more after you have made the decision to go forward and generally include the following:
-
Selection of various software vendors, hardware and infrastructure providers, data architects, and systems integrators;
-
A series of data architecture decisions, data integration approaches, data staging requirements, and software customization projects;
-
Implementation often requires a large program management office to manage a vast array of internal company resources and external consultants;
-
Ongoing teams of IT and business analysts to manage the system and tweak it along the way;
-
A new project to add additional data sources, new businesses or acquired companies;
-
Another program to upgrade the software with all those customizations from the initial implementation.
By the time the integration process is complete, your business has changed, the reporting needs are different, and the system is dated. Analysts report that almost 50% of these traditional projects
are abandoned or fail to produce the desired results.
