Book excerpt: Excerpt from Strategic Data Planning: Lessons From the Field Many large organizations today are finding that even if they can access data from multiple functions, the lack of logical data integration (common data definitions and codes) across information systems makes it difficult or impossible to answer cross-functional or cross-divisional questions. This reduces their ability to take advantage of potential opportunities or respond to business problems. Strategic Data Planning is one methodology which can address such problems, within the general umbrella of information engineering. Resting on the assumption that a relatively stable group of data entities lies at the center of an organization's information processing needs, SDP is a formalized, top-down, data-centered planning approach that builds a model of the enterprise, its functions, and its underlying data as a basis for identifying and implementing an integrated set of information systems. In spite of strong conceptual arguments for the value of the SDP approach and its use in many organizations, empirical researchers have failed to find clear-cut evidence of its general success. This raises the question of whether the approach is universally appropriate. If success is somewhat problematic, are there lessons that can be drawn from actual organizational experience? The purpose of this paper is to report the results of a series of case studies of SDP efforts, to offer insights on the conditions under which SDP is most effective, and to propose directions for future research.

Download or read book Business Intelligence Strategy and Big Data Analytics written by Steve Williams and published by Morgan Kaufmann. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Intelligence Strategy and Big Data Analytics is written for business leaders, managers, and analysts - people who are involved with advancing the use of BI at their companies or who need to better understand what BI is and how it can be used to improve profitability. It is written from a general management perspective, and it draws on observations at 12 companies whose annual revenues range between $500 million and $20 billion. Over the past 15 years, my company has formulated vendor-neutral business-focused BI strategies and program execution plans in collaboration with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, logistics companies, insurers, investment companies, credit unions, and utilities, among others. It is through these experiences that we have validated business-driven BI strategy formulation methods and identified common enterprise BI program execution challenges. In recent years, terms like “big data and “big data analytics have been introduced into the business and technical lexicon. Upon close examination, the newer terminology is about the same thing that BI has always been about: analyzing the vast amounts of data that companies generate and/or purchase in the course of business as a means of improving profitability and competitiveness. Accordingly, we will use the terms BI and business intelligence throughout the book, and we will discuss the newer concepts like big data as appropriate. More broadly, the goal of this book is to share methods and observations that will help companies achieve BI success and thereby increase revenues, reduce costs, or both. Provides ideas for improving the business performance of one’s company or business functions Emphasizes proven, practical, step-by-step methods that readers can readily apply in their companies Includes exercises and case studies with road-tested advice about formulating BI strategies and program plans

Download or read book Data Strategy written by Sid Adelman and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 2005 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without a data strategy, the people within an organization have no guidelines for making decisions that are absolutely crucial to the success of the IT organization and to the entire organization. The absence of a strategy gives a blank check to those who want to pursue their own agendas, including those who want to try new database management systems, new technologies (often unproven), and new tools. This type of environment provides no hope for success. Data Strategy should result in the development of systems with less risk, higher quality systems, and reusability of assets. This is key to keeping cost and maintenance down, thus running lean and mean. Data Strategy provides a CIO with a rationale to counter arguments for immature technology and data strategies that are inconsistent with existing strategies. This book uses case studies and best practices to give the reader the tools they need to create the best strategy for the organization.
