Which Version of the Truth? Is your Business Intelligence really intelligent? For years corporate executives have made strategic decisions based on information from multiple reports that IT compiled by summarizing sets of frequently conflicting data. Business intelligence systems promise to change that by pulling data from all internal systems plus external sources and presenting one version of the truth. The result provides decision makers with answers to highly strategic questions.
Just one problem! Rarely is the truth in plain sight. Real and valuable business information must be mined from disparate and “dirty” data that resides in multiple incompatible applications and databases across your company. Today’s business intelligence applications are incredible tools for helping an organization leverage their key data. But beware: getting to the truth is not just about buying and deploying new software tools. Instead it involves a significant upfront and ongoing effort to institute and maintain good corporate data practices and ensure data integrity. Otherwise the old pattern continues: “garbage in garbage out”.
