What you get

The tools you need to garner internal support for, and commitment to, a new or improved BI program:

• A report outlining the business goals for your BI program and how it ties in with Executive vision
• The framework for a BI Program, built by expert BI strategists, around the business goals and vision
• A detailed strategy implementation plan, including:
  • A sustainable business intelligence roadmap
  • Roles and responsibilities for implementation and governance
  • Key success factors and risks for the program
  • Budget estimates

How much effort is spent on your metrics and reports? Are they used effectively? The goal of Business Intelligence seems straightforward: use data to drive improvement in all areas of business. Some clients are just starting to turn to BI to deal with inadequate reporting, an influx of data and a demand for actionable information. Others know that they need Business Intelligence to solve a particular problem, but haven’t considered a well-structured BI solution that can extend benefit to other business areas. How close are you to the BI goal?

Approach

The BI HealthCheck follows a disciplined, top-down methodology, to ensure that your BI program will deliver insight.

• Our strategists begin discussions with executives and management to get a complete picture of business challenges, and ultimately gather support for the BI program from the highest levels. We clearly outline what a BI solution can offer to fulfill the business needs, design a road map and help prioritize BI initiatives.
• Based on the overall plan, we help develop your cross-functional BI team, and outline their responsibilities for implementation and governance.
• We help implement standard processes for BI portfolio and project management, communications, governance, solution architecture, quality management, change management and training.
