Putting the Business Back in BI
BI means “business intelligence” yet in many BI programs technology interests
supersede those of business.
When a BI program gives more attention to dashboards, scorecards, OLAP, and
data warehouses than to finance, R&D, marketing, operations, and customer
support, then it is time to put the business back into BI.
