We spend a lot of time on Business Intelligence, Master Data Management, Data Governance, Standardization, off-shoring, etc., yet I rarely hear organizations spending time and energy on analyzing the data. We have cubes, we can do all sorts of things with reports and dashboards, yet I still hear people say “I need more information!”
It is impossible that we are short on data!
- How then are we not getting enough information out to the organization?
- Is it possible that we are spending all of our time and energy on data preparation and data movement?
- Are we creating value, or just planning to create value?
- What about creating a center of excellence around the business user?
- Or something around the levers of the business?
