“Strategies of Successful BI and Analytics Leaders: Mastering Organizational and Technical Architectures”,
By Wayne Eckerson, Principal Consultant, Eckerson Group |
|
For too long, organizations have tried to shoehorn all BI and analytics users and activities into a centralized organizational structure and monolithic data architecture. Forward-thinking organizations are now moving to a federated BI organization and augmenting their classic report-centric data warehouses with real-time, analytical, and content-based engines to support multiple types of users, data, and applications. This presentation describes the fundamental business forces at work that make it difficult to deliver successful BI programs. It then describes new organizational, analytical, and data architectures that enable organizations to optimize business dynamics and reap value from their data analytics assessments. In short, the presentation shows how to create a new analytical organization and ecosystem for the 21st century.
You Will Learn:
- The business dynamics that rip most BI programs apart
- The elements of a federated organizational architecture
- How to evolve your current architecture into an analytical ecosystem leveraging big data
- How to create an analytical architecture that supports the complete range of users and information requirements
Geared to:
- CXOs who want to create data-driven organizations with a strong analytical culture
- Business unit heads and data analysts who want better data and tools to drive insights and more business-savvy IT people
- CIOs and VPs of IT who want to design business-centric data and analytical architectures and form robust BI or analytical centers of excellence
- Directors of BI, Advanced Analytics, and Data Warehousing who want to align more closely with business unit leaders, managers, and analysts
- Data architects, requirements analysts, and BI/ETL tools developers who want to know how they can maximize their effectiveness and improve their career opportunities
