Much has been written about strategic alignment between business and IT. The discussion is generally about consistency between business strategy, business processes, IT strategy and IT infrastructure. If any of these elements are absent, there is a risk that a BI initiative will not deliver business value.
The Metrics View BI Advisory service focuses the attention on the exact business value expected in a given BI investment. It also identifies specific areas of implementation risk so they can be managed and mitigated, thus improving the probability of BI success.
We work together with our clients to ensure the alignment of their previously defined business strategy with the objectives of their Business Intelligence platform. As a result of our BI Advisory service we determine the strategic and tactical objectives, define priorities, expected benefits, and determine an implementation roadmap.
Because it is business-centric, we are less concerned with the technical issues of DW and BI deployment. Rather, we are interested in the business risk associated with BI investments, defined as the risk that the business will not successfully capitalize on a given deployed BI application, and thus the investment will not pay off.For a technical orientation you may want to check our Data Management Health Check service.
Sign up to review our BI Advisory service with a Metrics View specialist. Upon request we can provide further details and a sample of the documentation and assessment work.
