 | Early Business Intelligence (BI) solutions typically provided business managers with static views of data, with little or no ability to manipulate data or analyze it from different angles. Consequently, as the use of BI grew and matured, corporate IT organizations were often inundated with requests for different views of the data. Aberdeen Group's March 2011 research (Agile BI: Three Steps to Analytic Heaven) found that top performing organizations are pursuing a more agile business intelligence solution that allows these new views of the data to be created rapidly - often by the business users themselves. Based on direct end-user feedback, this Aberdeen Analyst Insight focuses on data integration as a key factor in delivering agile BI. The research shows that adopting greater agility in data integration can help to contain BI project costs and make it more likely that projects are delivered on time. Request Free! |
