Getting Information Out: Establishing High Business User BI Adoption Rates

Webinar Abstract

Ask yourself this: Does your company have a history of bringing in multiple BI tools, having multiple approaches and strategies, using inconsistent or inaccurate data, implementing BI components too slowly or not in a timely fashion? Does all this result in a chaotic architecture? Do you find that adoption of BI by the business is stagnant or dropping? You may have entered the “dead zone” for BI – where BI is just treading water with a handful of dedicated users but no plans for expansion, funding drying up, and interest waning.

In Part One of this two-part webcast series, we describe a modern BI architecture for supporting end-to-end BI. Then we discuss the reasons for a stalemate, the architectural components that stimulate adoption, ease maintenance pains, and return to a state of consistency, faster delivery, and higher satisfaction in your BI business users.

Attendees will learn about:

• Why their environments have stagnated
• The overall architecture needed to support a rapidly changing BI landscape
• The architectural pieces to focus on to increase business user adoption and suggestions to reinvigorate BI
• The best practices for implementing easy to use BI technologies and easy to consume BI components
