EMPOWERING BUSINESSES

• Business Intelligence (BI) is about getting the right information, to the

right decision makers, at the right time.

• BI is an enterprise-wide platform that supports reporting, analysis and

decision making.

• BI leads to:

– fact-based decision making

– “single version of the truth”

• BI includes reporting and analytics.

Business Intelligence Overview

EMPOWERING BUSINESSES

• Data everywhere, information no where• Different users have different needs

– Excel versus PDF– Pull versus push– On demand – on schedule– Your format – my format

• Takes too long – wasted resources/efforts• Security • Technical “Jargon” … Why I just can’t get it to you when you want it. • The impact of IBM, SAP and Oracle’s entry into the BI market through their

recent BI pure play mega-acquisitions is propelling IT majors to position themselves further away from being fixated with a particular type of data format, towards enhanced understanding and capabilities of managing diverse data types and formats.

• Key drivers include increasing uptake of BI and business optimization, an overarching need for business transparency, better corporate governance and the need comply with stricter regulations.
