Let's talk about Business Intelligence ...
"Business Intelligence (BI) is transformational in
improving business effectiveness at all levels. Once people know what factors
impact business performance, they can change what they are doing. Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) helps you do things better, but BI helps you do better
things."
Nigel Rayner, Research Vice President at Gartner Inc.

"Many organizations lack a cohesive strategy for
business intelligence (BI) implementations. As a result, through 2010, most
organizations will spend over 70 percent of the time, energy and money that they
invest in BI in resolving people, process and governance issues, rather than
supporting the technology, according to Gartner, Inc."

Gartner Says Organizations Spend Less Than 30 Percent of Their Time, Energy and
Money on Technology Issues Related to Business Intelligence

"Due to a lack of a cohesive strategy, many
organizations have created multiple, uncoordinated and tactical BI
implementations, which has resulted in silos of technology, skills, processes
and people" ... "This organizational ceiling limits business and management from
achieving business goals and leaves IT people and architects wary of supporting
BI efforts. It is not only important to understand why these disconnections
happen and the negative impact they can have on realizing the value and benefit
of BI, but that they can also increase the total cost of ownership of BI for the
whole organization."
