Market View on Business Intelligence and Enterprise Information Management

Business Intelligence and Enterprise Information Management - Defined
Our point of view is a little less complicated….
Business Intelligence (BI) empowers the right people to receive the right information, at the right time, allowing them to make the right business decisions.
Enterprise Information Management (EIM) provides the foundation for the business to operate as truly “intelligent enterprise”.
“Business intelligence (BI) is an umbrella term that includes the applications, infrastructure, tools, and best practices that enable access to and analysis of information to improve and optimize decisions and performance.” – Gartner
“Enterprise Information Management (EIM) is an integrative discipline for structuring, describing and governing information assets across organizational and technological boundaries to improve efficiency, promote transparency and enable business insight.” – Gartner

Enterprise information Management (including Data Quality Management and Data Governance) is the single most important prerequisite to a Business Intelligence implementation.
“Without the proper data, or with too little quality data, any BI implementation will fail. Before implementation it is a good idea to do data profiling; this analysis will be able to describe the “content, consistency and structure” - Kimball et al., 2008

Executives are focused on BI…
1. Gartner EXP 2012 Survey of CIOs2. MIT Sloan Management Review : Findings from the
2010 New Intelligent Enterprise Global Executive Study and Research Project “Analytics: The New Path to Value”
Business Intelligence continues to be the top priorities for the
CIOs across the globe.1
“Over the next 24 months executives say they will focus on
supplementing standard historical reporting of data with
emerging approaches that convert information into
scenarios and simulations that make insights easier to
understand and act on.” 2

…. but BI has not delivered on the promise.
1. “Coming Up Short on Non Financial Performance Measurement,” Ittner and Larcker, HBR2. “Does your business intelligence tell you the whole story? “ - KPMG International.
Your BI solution may have you looking at the
wrong information.
1Fewer than 10 percent of
organizations have successfully used BI to
enhance their organizational and
technological infrastructures.
2 3 4More than 50 percent
of business intelligence projects fail to deliver the expected benefit.
Two thirds of executives feel that the quality of and timely access to
data is poor and inconsistent.
Seven out of ten executives do not get
the right information to make business
decisions.
70% of companies employ metrics that lack statistical validity and reliability.1
While 95% of companies forecast cash flows, only 14% of cash forecasts are accurate.2
According to KPMG International, the execution of business strategy is often hampered by a lack of reliable information2:

Ensuring the accuracy of the information reported form a business intelligence system is another central theme that organisations encounter. Integrating information from across your enterprise while keeping the quality of data intact “from record to report” has revealed a range of issues not previously apparent.
The executives are now focused on making their BI solutions more reliable by through an information management agenda.

Organisations are using an “information agenda” to plan for the future
Highest data priorities for Organization:

Information Governance: In order to create truly valuable business intelligence, organizations should clearly define who owns, uses, and produces information and how it is presented. Such tight ownership and control should help give consistent, accurate reports and allow fair, “like for like” comparisons of performance.

Simplification is a one of the most significant component of the information agenda. “Complexity should not be viewed as a burden to be avoided; it should be seen as a catalyst and an accelerator to create innovation and new ways of delivering value” - Juan Ramon Alaix, President, Pfizer Animal Health - IBM 2010 Global CEO Study.

Customers & Suppliers
“I can’t get the information I need quickly enough to react to the events and changes in the market conditions.” Root Cause: Data Governance Framework & Organisation Structure, Data Ownership and Stewardship and Data Flow Analysis.
“It is too difficult to obtain all the information I need to make better decisions.”
Root Cause: Data Classification, Data Flow Analysis, Data Mapping and Data Modeling.
“I don’t have enough confidence in some of our information to make critical decisions.”
Root Cause: Data Quality Management and Enterprise Information Strategy .
“We run this business by “gut feel” rather than facts.”
Root Cause: Data Quality Management, Information Integration and Distribution.
“I receive a multitude of reports with conflicting information so we waste time debating which measures are correct instead of making decisions.”
Root Cause: Data Quality, Data Standardization and Master Data Management.
“Majority of our analyst’s time is spent gathering data instead of analyzing and the information to create insights.”
Root Cause: Data Quality and Data Ownership/Stewardship.
“ Your organization does not understand the full breadth of the relationship your customers and suppliers have with you.”
Root Cause: Master Data Management , Data Flow Analysis, Information Lifecycle Management and Enterprise Information Strategy.
All most all executives within your organisation are effected by the quality of your organizational data. For Industries that processes huge amounts of data on a daily basis, Data Quality can make or break an organization. Some of the key information management challenges faced by organizations are:
Information Consumers
Common Business Information ChallengesThe root causes are also common
Common and critical data resides in
separate systems
•Data is incomplete and critical information is not captured.
•Obsolete Data.•Reference data is not consistent across systems.
•Data content differs from actual business rules.
•Data does not reconcile across all integrated systems.
•The same information is captured from multiple system
Inconsistent definitions and
standards
•No common definition of data, including customer data.
•The same data is not captured in a consistent format across the organisation.
•Difficult or impossible to consolidate information for cross department / cross geography use.
Limited Analytical Capability
• As the data is not completely captured, the ability to analyse data is limited.
•Restricted ability to discover potential opportunities for cross-sell and up sell using the current available data.
•Lack of knowledge of the affiliates with repeated transactions.
•Income/spend patterns and trends are not easily available.
Unclear Data Ownership
•No formalised governance policy in place.
•The data ownership and consumption of data is not clearly defined.
Manual Processes and Limited Sharing
of Data
•There are high degree of manual processes in place and limited sharing of data between countries and systems.
•Lack of knowledge for end-to-end process.

The Need for Enterprise Information Management
Why is information management so important to me?
Many organisations fail to effectively manage their data, resulting in greater risks to the business and missed opportunities for commercial and competitive advantage.
Effective and innovative data governance and data quality management can help you to reduce the risks and realise the true potential of your organisation's information:
o Improved customer profitability and product coverage through single customer view and product insights.
o Reduce risk (financial and reputational) through improved data quality, control and security.
o Better informed planning based on accurate operational and forecast datao Enhanced anti-fraud measures through linking and forensic analysis of
structured and unstructured data.o Auditable regulatory compliance and repeatable decisions on large data-
intensive.o Early risk warning systems to continuously monitor and improve operational
efficiencies and profitability.o Technology-enabled-solutions that are tailored to your needs and enables you to
focus on the most relevant information.

Key Components of Our Information Governance Framework
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)The core of our approach focuses on ILM which comprises the policies, processes, practices, and tools used to align the business value of information with the most appropriate and cost effective IT infrastructure -- from the time information is conceived through its final disposition.
Data Governance Framework and Organisation StructureThe process of defining the roles / relationships and information management organization structure. It helps to drive ownership rules, set standards and direction for data management and create data quality standards.
Data Ownership and StewardshipThe process of understanding the data and establishing standards and measurable goals to help improve the quality of the data by evangelizing the leading practices across the organization.
Master Data ManagementThe process of consistently defining and managing the information that is key to the operation of your business covering customers, products, employees, materials, suppliers etc.
Data ClassificationThe process of dividing data sources (documents, applications, databases, etc.) into groupings to which defined level of controls, protection and policies can be applied to support business objectives.
Data Flow AnalysisThe process of classifying and managing the flow of information assets within an organization.
Data Quality ManagementThe process of accessing, designing, improving, monitoring and measuring the duality of data across the organization.

Information Lifecycle ManagementService Offerings and Sample Deliverables
• It may take some time for the business to realise that the Data Governance program will create an opportunity for them to improve the overall information quality across the organisation.
• Practical considerations will come to light when you put into practice the Governance principles and bodies defined in this phase. Be prepared for scope and requirements to change overtime.
• Ownership and accountability is critical; if no one owns it, it will not get done. Create a risk mitigation plan in the event of a critical lack of available documentation on how owns what information and how is it managed.
• Emphasize training and internal awareness. Many user satisfaction issues may be overcome by end user training and increased awareness about the Program.
• Limit the number of “instantiated” policies and preserve the key capability to “customize” the management of each individual piece of personal data, based on users’ privacy preferences.

Data Governance is how an enterprise manages its data assets. Key step within Data Governance is to identify the Information stakeholders (e.g. management, investors, supervisors, auditors)
A Data Governance organisation structure primarily made up of the Governance Committee, who are responsible for project oversight, Data Stewards and a Data Quality Group. This example below can be tailored to fit the current organisation structure of our clients, leveraging current existing roles wherever possible.
Set direction, strategy and goals for the council globally (e.g., across regions, Sales and Marketing ,etc.). Champion the councils mission and purpose to the corporation.
Set Business and IT direction for data architecture and underlying infrastructure
Data Stewardship, Corporate data standards, data repository, data architecture and database administration. Data and ownership rules validation
Data quality processes and tools
Data requirements, data ownership (Location A, Location B, Sales, Marketing, etc.)
22
• Invest in resources for participation in the information gathering process. Key project team members such as the Project Manager, Architect(s), Business Analyst(s) and Data Analyst(s) should participate in as many of the meetings as possible, even if the planned subject matter may not seem to be directly applicable to every resource.
• Site visits to organizations that have mature Information Governance models in place to bring theory to life and crystallize good applicable features into the future design may be a useful tool.
• Share findings and initial impressions across the program to test initial hypothesis.• It is critical to obtain the client’s agreement and sign off for the governance framework
to gain consensus and the appropriate level of stakeholder support. • Mapping current organization to the future organization in the early stages of the project
can help ensure efficient transition to the future state.• Businesses will incur learning and education costs as they familiarise themselves with the
new reporting methods.

Data Ownership and Stewardship Articulates Roles and Responsibilities, and helps to keep the Measurement and Analytics Function Synchronized Across Business Units and IT.
Effective Definition of Data Ownership can help to:
• Understand the data and the purpose of the data in a specific system.
• Provide contextual understanding of the data in a particular system.
• Comprehend the data and various data elements in the context of the business purpose of the system.
• For initial data ownership focus, start with Accounts and Contacts across systems.
Data stewards play a crucial role in defining the organizational data elements and subsequently the conceptual data model for an organization.
Data Stewards act as the liaison between IT and the business and accept accountability for data definition, data management process definition, and information quality levels for specific data subject areas. Later, the technology team translates this conceptual data model into technology solutions.

Data Stewardship Responsibilities
• Monitor and report data quality issues
• Review error and exception logs
• Correct data gaps (i.e., missing data)
• Randomly audit data
• Maintain and fine tune data transformation and matching rules
24
• When differences occur between sources of information it is often very difficult to gain consensus in an organization as to which version of the truth is correct. It is necessary to exercise caution to obtain information at or as close to the source as possible and to avoid hidden filters, views, stored processes or transformations when profiling data. It is important to obtain sign-off on the correct sources for the data.
• Assessing the Corporate Strategic Plan will provide insight as to goals and objectives to be obtained. They will be at a high level but should be able to be broken down to lower levels in the individual business units.
• Consider co-coordinating structured interviews and meetings across all workstreams and socialize the design with key stakeholders to get business buy-in across the workstreams.
• A refresher training of the key participants has to be undertaken closer to the go-live time to help ensure knowledge is retained.
• Early Communication about the new Governance organization will help ensure that people are better prepared and are involved in the implementation early in the process.

Master Data ManagementService Offerings and Sample Deliverables
• There is no single approach to addressing metadata. An iterative approach may be used to increase functionality gradually through a series of planned releases.
• Any harmonisation of data definitions would require changes. Often business units are only willing to participate in harmonisation exercises to the extent that everyone else agrees to their existing definitions.
• Context is extremely important. In addition to Integrated Information Management skills, the project team should have knowledge of the domain and/or industry knowledge.
• Plan for substantial changes to the physical design during the Implement Phase as data sourcing and data access construction activities mandate modifications to the Operational Data Stores, Data Warehouse or Data Mart.
• Data Management and Governance are more than data tools - to be effective they should encompass people, process, all types of data, technology and tools.
• Leverage the Information Lifecycle Management to determine what information is critical to link and support the operational data.

The following attributes should be considered while defining the Information Classification and Control Model:
Definition - A brief statement that describes the information Accuracy/Quality - An appraisal of the confidence one can
have in the information Risk - A statement to highlight the risk associated with the
information Timing - A discussion of frequency, regular of irregular, etc. Source - Where did the information originate? Usage - How is it used and by whom? Disposition - Where is the information sent? Maintenance - A description of the activities required to keep
the information current Security - A statement of the privacy / confidentiality issues
surrounding the information Redundancy - Are there too many versions of the same
information?

Data ClassificationService Offerings and Sample Deliverables
• Do not permit data gaps to go unresolved since they will require changes to the logical and physical models and may even require revisiting project success factors.
• Ensure the level of detail is sufficient to help enable the next phase (Build) to take place. The difficulty is to strike the right balance and not to get to the build level but at the same time to define sufficient detail (“all thinking should be finished at this stage”)
• Well-established designs, tools and technologies are suitable and innovations should be analyzed for risks and architecture components.
• Data Management and Governance processes expand beyond MDM to include all data types (structured/unstructured, internal/external) and flows of data.
• Process and/or technology led transformations should take into consideration the impact on supporting operating model. Organizational issues need to be addressed in parallel with process and technology considerations.
• Information flow lead time is a critical consideration when designing the processes as it has a direct impact on decision making

Future State of Data Flow should consider:
Efficiently managing the flow of information can help you address the following CHALLENGES:
• Islands of Information – Most organizations suffer from information proliferation and duplication. Each island is assessed for its viability and duplicate systems are rationalized, combined, or eliminated. If data I need is stored in several different places, how can I perform comprehensive analysis?
• Data Management – Who owns the data?
• Data Quality – How will we enforce the format in which data is entered?
• Accountabilities – Who is responsible and accountable for the data?
• Stakeholder Management – Who is impacted by the use of the data and what expectations need to be set for the delivery of the information?
30
Data Flow AnalysisService Offerings and Sample Deliverables
• Avoid jumping to technological solutions until the business objectives and the requirements are well understood.
• Analyzing the details and complexities of the numerous data elements is the longest and most labour intensive component of Data Governance projects. Care should be taken to manage the scope and estimated effort for this activity.
• It is important to use a realistic baseline of the maturity level of the client’s business and information technology environments. Establish early the priorities for improvement as well as understand the constraints applicable.
• Plan in advance for any sample data or data analysis requests related to data profiling including adherence to all policies and procedures.
• Prototyping can be very valuable and prototyping opportunities should be considered where there is a compelling benefit (including risk mitigation) that outweighs the costs.
• The quality of the source-to-target mappings has a direct impact on the data integration design and implementation..

Data Quality ManagementService Offerings and Sample Deliverables
• Follow the leading enterprises that focus their Information Governance Vision on leveraging data and information as an asset to execute their core strategic objectives
• The quality of the source-to-target mappings has a direct impact on the data integration design and implementation. Poor Quality of data simply transfers the load to other solutions and may have a wide spread effect throughout the organisation.
• A central and widely accessible document repository of Governance documentation such as, for example, e-rooms makes this effort more transparent to clients’ stakeholders.
• Establishing a clear baseline for current business processes is critical for reducing complexity and identifying root causes, gaps, critical requirements, and alignment issues
• Specialized skill sets can be very helpful to assess architectural components and interfaces. Resources outside the project team such as vendors, industry groups, partners and other organizations should be leveraged where necessary.
• Preserve the design of the data quality framework as much as possible and document decisions resulting from constraints or limitations of technology components.

• Data Governance – the process that articulates Roles and Responsibilities, and helps to keep the Measurement and Analytics Function Synchronized Across Business Units and IT
• Data Quality – managing information as a corporate asset will maintain and enhance its value, using quality-driven organizations, processes, standards and supporting technologies
• Data Integration – includes the collection, organization and distribution of all types of data, to manage the full data life-cycle needs of an enterprise
• Data Integration Platforms – represents the set of servers, databases, software, networks and storage used to deliver and maintain information
Many companies struggle to produce consistent reporting — with a mass of different data in multiple formats — making meaningful comparisons difficult or impossible.
Effective Enterprise Information Management drives clear accountabilities regarding BI; clearly defined business performance metrics and the ongoing integration between the business units.

Categories on Organizational Data and its Management
Term Definition Demo
Data Management A thorough process of managing various types of data throughout the organization
Change Management A thorough process of managing business change requests from the point when a request is logged to the point when it is implemented. Examples of requests handled by the change management process include a new report, changes to data definitions, change to workflow, etc.
Master Data Sets of core business entities used in traditional or analytical applications across the organization, and subjected to enterprise governance policies, along with their associated metadata, attributes, definitions, roles, and connections. Master data covers all the traditional master data sets: customers, products, employees, vendors, parts, policies and activities.
Meta Data Data about data meaning. It can contain details about the structure of database tables and objects, but also information on how data is extracted, transformed and loaded from source to target. It can also contain information on the origin of the data.
Reference Data Any kind of data used solely to categorize other data. Volumes of reference data are much lower than those of master data, and it changes more slowly than master data. An example of reference data is the use of code tables consisting of codes and/or acronyms, descriptions, etc. The code tables hold information about product line, gender, country or customer type etc.
Transaction Data A single piece of information related to a certain occurring activity; Transactional Data can change very often and are not constant. Examples of transaction data include purchase order number, general ledger posting, a journal amount, etc
