A seminar by Barry Devlin, Principal, 9sight Consulting. Course will be presented in English. Business Intelligence as an independent discipline is dying. Much of its former value has migrated to the operational environment as day-to-day decision-making is automated for short-term gain. Meanwhile, longer term decisions stand strangely disconnected from the underlying reality of business, market and organization. It’s clear that the days of the stand-alone data warehouse are numbered; but what next? It’s decision-time for BI itself. We must move to the next level in the value chain for decision-making—engaging the strategic decision makers and enabling them to integrate in the business as a whole. Over the coming few years, BI managers will have to focus simultaneously on two goals: incorporating the old stand-alone BI infrastructure into the mainstream IT environment and creating a new future “business insight” environment. We must begin to envisage a new type of “Highly Evolved Business”. This will require integration across all dimensions of its activities, as already being driven by SOA and Web 2.0 collaborative computing. And BI must become a driver and integral part of this new world. This tutorial describes the implications of current technological changes in the IT world and describes at a high level a possible future architecture and how we could begin to implement it, covering: 1. A review of the old paradigms and emerging trends in BI and where they deliver business value 2. The use of SOA and Web 2.0 to enable pervasive business and people-driven processes 3. Moving from a traditional data warehousing architecture to a wider, cross-business and cross-functional view 4. Breaking down old barriers between the different parts of the IT and business organisations and engaging the corporation in the next wave of information strategy Who Should Attend IT and BI managers, BI architects and implementers and IT-aware business professionals.
