Description

Business Intelligence (BI): It’s not just a technology. It’s not just a methodology. It’s a powerful new management approach that – when done right – can deliver knowledge, efficiency, better decisions, and profit to almost any organization that uses it.

When BI first came on the scene, it promised a lot but often failed to deliver. The missing element was the business-centric focus explained in The Profit Impact of Business Intelligence. Written by BI gurus Steve Williams and Nancy Williams, The Profit Impact of Business Intelligence shows step by step how you can achieve the promise of BI by connecting it to your organization’s strategic goals, culture, and strengths while correcting your BI weaknesses.

Features:

  • Provides a practical, process-oriented guide to achieve the full promise of BI.

  • Shows how world-class companies used BI to become leaders in their industries.

  • Helps senior business and IT executives understand the strategic impact of BI and how they can ensure a strong payoff from their BI investments.

  • Identifies the most common mistakes organizations make in implementing BI.

  • Includes a helpful glossary of BI terms.

  • Includes a BI readiness assessment for your organization.

  • Includes Web links and extensive references for more information.

    特點：

    - 提供實用的、以過程為導向的指南，實現BI的全部承諾。
    - 展示了世界一流公司如何利用BI成為其行業的領導者。
    - 幫助高級業務和IT主管了解BI的戰略影響，以及如何確保BI投資的強大回報。
    - 確定組織在實施BI時最常犯的錯誤。
    - 包括一個有用的BI術語詞彙表。
