We all know that the BI is very important for all the company .
but why some BI solutions fail to help some companies ?
Here are some resons :
1) No Executive sponsorship: Most BI projects
are highly cross-functional in nature. It needs collaboration from
various departments within an organization. Unless there is executive
buy-in and commitment, seldom do departments come together in a timely
fashion and collaborate, as every department has its own priorities and
targets to meet.
2) Underestimating the commitment levels, cost and effort:
Let us be honest – to have a really meaningful BI solution that helps
strengthen the organization’s top line and bottom line, it takes
sustained effort, which could translate into a considerable commitment
and cost. Many BI projects are abandoned mid-way and deemed a failure as
the executive sponsors are not briefed about the needed commitment in
advance.
3) Biting more than what can be chewed: The old
adage “Don’t bite more than you can chew” is still valid today! Most BI
teams get into a ‘monument building’ mode right from the word go. The
best way to succeed in a BI project is to intelligently prioritize
business needs and break them into manageable chunks.
4) Making IT drive BI projects: The term BI
stands for Business Intelligence – it means it is intimately related to
the business! Ideally the business should be driving it with
collaboration and support from IT. Many organizations let IT drive their
BI projects from concept to completion with minimal involvement of the
business. This is a sure recipe for mismatched expectations and
unexpected results, often leading to failure.
5) Trying to Fit a Square Peg into a Round Hole:
This cliché is very much true in most cases where BI needs /
requirements are not understood clearly and the project team tries to
fit the business needs into an incorrect technology solution.
