CI for BI: How the BI Industry can benefit from Continuous Integration
by Lance Hankins CTO, Motio, Inc.
Excerpt :
"In industry terms, BI is still a relatively new field. Like many technology based industries, BI has progressed through its early stages with implementations subject to ad hoc processes and widely varying success. In the past, it has been commonplace for multiple BI projects implemented by the same organization to take wildly different approaches en-route to reaching for very similar goals. In recent years, however, forward thinking organizations have increased their BI capabilities through the centralization of BI knowledge and expertise.
With models such as the 'BI Competency Center' (BICC) and the 'BI Center of Excellence' becoming increasingly prevalent, these organizations are now defining BI technology stacks, toolsets, processes and techniques for the entire organization in order to ensure success and maximize ROI on new BI initiatives. They are also taking cues from best practices in flanking categories, in this case, the Software Industry."
