IDC Keynote Presentation: Pervasive BI - Spreading the Intelligent Word
Tomasz Sloniewski, Research Manager, Software, CEE, IDC Poland
Maximizing the utility of BI solutions is more than a question of finding the right technology. Success also depends on identifying the right user groups within your enterprise and insuring their varying needs are being addressed. Bringing BI to a broader audience within an organization is the goal of Pervasive BI. In order to take BI to the next level and make it pervasive, however, a number of requirements come into play. Sponsorship of top management, measurements of current system capacity and needs, planning for widespread BI adoption, planned flexibility and scalability, as well as guaranteed ongoing support for BI system development are all necessary components of a pervasive BI initiative. In this presentation, IDC outlines some considerations to be made when preparing for Pervasive BI.
