BI Adoption and Maturity: Real Success Factors
Identifying and understanding success factors in BI and data warehousing becomes imperative as the industry matures. Organizations continue to seek unbiased measurements of the current state of BI/DW as well as guidance on their own programs’ improvement. To that end, professionals must know (1) how broadly BI and data warehousing are being adopted, (2) what the critical success factors are, and (3) how these success factors are related.
Presented is a framework for BI-enabled competitive advantage and maturity assessment, based on formal quantitative analysis and case studies, to reduce the anecdote and guesswork in decision making. Michael L. Gonzales, Ph.D., presents his comprehensive analysis of the state of the industry and guidance for BI executives to focus resources on the success factors with the greatest impact.
