The key to delivering sustainable business value is to create a flexible development and deployment environment that minimizes the temptation for business users to build their own analytical shadow systems, and enables BI teams to rapidly respond to new business requests. But creating a nimble and adaptable BI environment is not easy. It requires organizational and technical strategies, ranging from governance programs and super user networks to rapid development techniques and service-oriented architectures. This presentation will present a practical framework for creating agile BI environments that can drive your BI program to the next level.

You Will Learn:

  • The keys to building an agile BI environment
  • How to speed solution development and gather useful requirements
  • How aligning business and IT can improve the quality of applications
  • How mature BI programs push development back to departments
