Editor's Notes
- Key Point: Tell the story of how BI has evolved over the past 10 years and highlight the key challenges IT faces with BI tools and deployment today. Talking Points: If you think about the evolution of BI over the past 10 years, it started out fairly simply with IT primarily aiming to (click) Consolidate and connect to existing data sources Stage that data for reporting and analysis(click) And then provision it out via reports, dashboards or cubes to users (click) However, today the line between producers and consumers is being blurred, end users in addition to the IT are creating BI content; today users expect to be able to do their own analysis and create their own reports. The two most common ways for end users to do this has been to use Excel spreadsheets and a wide array of specialized tools for analysis and reporting. (click) In creating their own BI solutions, end users have effectively found ways to get data directly from various data sources and by-passed the formal IT solutions, making it challenging for IT to control, monitor and manage these BI solutions being used within organizations. (click) Transition: So how do you balance the need for end users to have agility and access to information to building BI solutions while continuing to maintain control and governance of the data?
- Key Point: Position Microsoft Business Intelligence as the only solution in the market that enables both end user agility through Self Service BI while continuing to provide IT with control and visibility of end user created assets as part of the Corporate IT driven BI solutions. Slide Storyboard: In the industry there are two groups of BI vendors. On the ‘Corporate BI’ side of the spectrum, we have vendors like Oracle, IBM and SAP through their recent acquisitions that now provide capabilities to connect to existing data sources, clean & stage that information out to eventually enable analysis, reporting and dashboards. For ‘Self-Service’, we have recently seen several niche start-ups that now cater to this growing need to do more with minimal interaction with IT. In order to bridge the corporate and self-service BI gap, organizations need capabilities that support both the needs of IT as well as End users. (Click) Microsoft is the only vendor that has been deeply focused on solving for both the needs of the IT Professional with products such as SQL Server and SharePoint as well as the needs of End Users with the Office productivity tools, primarily Excel. A complete approach to BI requires: 1. Provision: Providing IT with the tools to connect, clean, provision and stage the data for reporting or analysis 2. Empower: Providing end users with access to both internal and external data sources; making it easier for users to discover data through new provisioning techniques such as data search; and the ability to merge and analyze the data in a familiar environment like Excel. 3. Manage: Enabling IT to monitor end user content and actions and act accordingly based on usage and resource utilization needs.
