Once we have used LOBI to establish the business objectives of the engagement with your company, Saama's BI Execution Methodology provides the framework we use to reach them. We use this method to analyze your BI users and assess their readiness for BI functionality, and then to determine how well organized your groups are for creating a healthy and productive BI environment. That information, along with the state of each group's BI maturity as measured by LOBI, gives us the information and insight we need to determine the best technology for fulfilling your organization's BI needs.
Success of your BI initiative will depend on how well its objectives are aligned with your business goals and strategies. The BI Execution Methodology provides the framework we use to ensure that the alignment is solid, and also creates the roadmap we use to drive the engagement to a successful result. The overall objective is to help your company successfully create a BI environment that enables you to run the company and manage its performance in a cost-effective way.
There are several specific tasks we use to build the BI Execution Methodology framework:
Align the BI initiative to your company's business objectives.
Identify the controllable activities, business drivers, and actionable information within your core processes.
Determine the people who will be the process and data stewards.
Establish the organizational locations of analytical, business and technology competencies.
Organize a process for sharing those competencies and investments among company functions.
Arrive at a common, integrated infrastructure that can be leveraged to benefit the engagement.
Deploy relevant functionality to support the business needs.
Match various BI user types with the right set of delivery, query, and analytical capabilities.
