ABSTRACT:
Most medium to large organizations today have made significant investments in data warehouses and business intelligence (BI) applications. However, many data warehouse practitioners believe that these environments are underutilized. The consequences of under-use are considerable and include:

  • Poor ROI on IT investments;
  • Dissatisfied end-users, and, perhaps most importantly,
  • Organizations are not effectively leveraging their most strategic asset - information.

The underutilization of expensive BI environments has prompted many firms to evaluate their current environments with an eye to developing effective strategies for the future. However, many firms, when considering their BI future, tend to focus on tools and technologies. While important, technology is only one component of an overall BI strategy, and in many cases is not the most important factor in a successful strategy. As such, technology should not be the primary focus of a BI strategy development process - technology is just a tool that helps organizations achieve their business intelligence goals.

This presentation presents a number of key success factors in developing effective, real world BI strategies to ensure that your end-users will choose to use your business intelligence platform.
