As the face for the data warehouse, the BI tool is the most important component to business users. Select a great tool that facilitates insights, and users will embrace business intelligence. Fail to manage your BI tool portfolio, and you will waste money on shelfware, frustrate users, and never achieve a single version of the truth.

Understanding strategic and functional differences between solutions from "Big 4" and BI pureplays is critical to developing a successful BI tool strategy. This course highlights recent events that affect BI buyers, provides a methodology for making better BI investments, and clarifies features of a BI platform. Specific product examples are interwoven for illustrative purposes.
