BI Strategy thinking for a Bigger play
BI has evolved over time to meet growing decision-making needs of businesses. It has definitely evolved from being a basic MIS Reporting tool, to being an intelligent platform that works as a decision support system.
I would like to offer a simple definition for BI, as a data collection, data processing, information / intelligence delivery platform for all the decision-makers to gain insight and act effectively
We could possibly classify the various organisation levels as, at the Strategic Management to Manage the Organisation, Business Unit Management to Measure & Monitor the business, Analytical level to Improve the Performance of the Unit, and Operational level to run the day-to-day business. All this is possible on an enterprise-BI platform. This gives a holistic view for BI at the organisation level.
