BI Standardization

BI technology has become an integral component of any business and its IT infrastructure to be successful. Most companies have adopted ad hoc BI approach for individual departments or regions or units, these BI applications (ERP, CRM, SCM and Legacy) provide them with customized data access. 

However, there are operational drawbacks in such a set up. As the network of deployments becomes larger, there is diverse data spilling from all divisions creating a maze of complex information. With different BI applications functioning across the company, a single data ends up having multiple versions, thus impeding an effective decision-making process.
