Challenges of Successfully Deploying Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing

Challenges of Successfully Deploying Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing - Author: Arun Gupta

Business intelligence and data warehousing are commonly associated terms. In fact, many of the tool vendors position their products as business intelligence software rather than data warehousing software. There are other occasions where the two terms are used interchangeably. So, what exactly is business intelligence?

Business intelligence refers to the information that is available for the enterprise to make decisions on. A data warehousing (or data mart) system is the backend, or the infrastructural component for achieving business intelligence. It also includes the insight gained from conducting data mining analysis, as well as unstructured data (thus the need for content management systems).

The concept of business intelligence has existed since ages for achieving long-term organizational goals by looking at trends and patterns, multi-dimensional analysis and so forth. The data typically exists anywhere from a day to a week, to a month, to even a year or more. What has essentially changed is the focus to get it closer to real time. That’s what is referred to as operational business intelligence. It is more about managing daily operations. Initially strategic business intelligence meant building our own little worlds. Data was extracted out of the operational systems and data warehouses and data marts were built in accordance, completely disconnected from the operational environment on purpose. This really helped create strategic decision-making environments, without affecting the operational systems. But all that has changed now with operational business intelligence and data warehousing being interconnected. No longer can there be a wall between the operational side of the house and operational business intelligence.

Operational business intelligence is also used by a very different audience. By its very nature, it has to be made more actionable for it to be useful by the operation personnel as well. And, by actionable, that means it has to be embedded into their everyday workflow, or their everyday processes. The traditional audience—the business analysts, and the executives—who are interested in being able to analyze this historical information were not really focused on current or real time or, even near real time data for that matter. In other words, the joint efforts of business intelligence & data warehousing is the need of the hour.

Understanding Business Intelligence UK

Understanding Business Intelligence UK - Author: Hall Andrew

When you want to know more about business intelligence UK, it does not mean that you have to spy and mimic the marketing ideas of your competition. This concept is more than determining what works for your rival. You have to know that there are certain intelligence plans and strategies which might be efficient for other businesses but may not work for yours. If you copy the business ideas of your competitor, there is a huge probability that these might not be effective for your own business. If you want to be more successful within the industry, you have to be creative and resourceful enough to come up with your own plans on business intelligence UK. The development of business intelligence plans is important. This goes especially when you want to get ahead of competition. If you want to gain an edge against your competitors, you must look into their weaknesses and strengths. Use the knowledge that you have acquired against them and you will surely end up more victorious.

Business Intelligence UK is more on Using Your Own Efforts

Business intelligence is learning what your competition is into. However, this does not imply that you go sneaking like a spy around their establishment. You need to be smarter than this if you want an effective business intelligence UK plan. Getting information does not mean that you take details from resources not related to your organization. When you acquire information from individuals you do not know, you will end up with the wrong facts. Do not just rely on secondary sources because, most of the time, what they have learned may not be up-to-date. When you want to know what the latest is from your rivals, you have to gain information firsthand. This might involve someone from your organization acting as a customer or a client. He or she can test the services of that certain competitor to see what they lack and what their strong points are. This might not require several resources, but it can be very efficient for your business intelligence UK development.

Protect Your Own Business Intelligence UK Strategies

If you are acquiring information from your rivals, they may be doing the same thing to you. You have to know that this is the most common attack for a lot of business owners if they want to rise above the competition. One great business intelligence UK strategy is to protect your organization’s essential information. While there are some things about your company which can be taken without you knowing it; there are some details which you can keep confidential at all times. An example would be the important files within your computer. You have to see to it that no one else has access to that computer except for you. When creating passwords, you have to come up with one which is hard to detect. What is more, you have to program your system not to remember passwords. A good business intelligence UK strategy is using a software application which prohibits hackers from your system. If you are developing a business plan, you should keep it to yourself until you are guaranteed that it won’t go to other people’s desks. When you present this plan, you have to make sure that you share it with colleagues that you trust to keep it confidential.

Teamwork Makes Business Intelligence UK Successful

In order to make your business intelligence UK plans more efficient and successful, you have to act as a team. When you work together as a group, you will be able to protect your business more effectively. On the other hand, performing as one group also generates more ideas. It is true that two heads are better than one. With this saying, a team of fifteen or more workers will be able to come up with a lot of business intelligence UK strategies. You should encourage your workers to work with each other. Do not support individualism. Always ask them to work in groups to promote camaraderie. Technology will never be enough for a great business intelligence UK plan when your organization is divided.
