UK Business Intelligence - It's all about the user not IT
It's all about the User stupid.
In the UK business intelligence model there remains a disconnect between the decision support tools and the decision-making process.
UK IT claims tremendous success for the infastructure and delivery side for BI, data storage, integration, access and delivery. But the business decision maker, couldn’t care less; answer to question are the remit not a lecture on the success of IT.
What Business Analyst & Managers want, certainly not excuses.
• Which are the most profitable customers? How do we raise their profitability?
• Is there enough stock to meet orders?
• What mixture of product and service offerings will best drive our revenue goals this quarter?
• What is the right mix of cost, pricing, marging to meet growth targets?
• Where should we be focusing our sales people at this time? Split territories?
Strategic decisions, are most often made at the executive and upper management levels within the enterprise.Tactical strategic decisions usually impact many divisions and functional areas within the business, they occur less frequently than day to day tactical decisions. Strategic decision support usually means providing consolidated and cross functional data. Data analysis at the strategic decision-making level often/always leads to additional information requests.
