Return to site menu Business intelligence is the term used to describe the information systems and processes that allow a business to manage itself. Many companies spend that much on tools alone. Projects have high failure rates. Big projects are intrinsically risky. Data is inconsistent or dirty.
Organizations fail to anticipate a high rate of learning.
If it can wrong, it will. The rate of change in organizations is so high that projects don't ever stabilitize. As a result, the impact of information warehousing and business intelligence is less than it could be. Most people can't use databases. Another layer is needed and OLAP is not enough.
