PROFIT IMPACT OF BUSINESS INTELIGENCEWILLIAMS S., WILLIAMS N.wydawnictwo: MK, 2007, wydanie Icena netto:
'The ideas in The Profit Impact of Business Intelligence were central to our deployment
of business intelligence applications that allowed us to manage revenue delivery and
reduce costs. One performance management approach we are taking is to leverage business intelligence
to better serve our customers and to optimize our cost structure in relation to the
services our customers value most. We have used the strategies described in The Profit
Impact of Business Intelligence to align our BI program with our critical success factors
and to drive our BI development efforts. This is a "must read" book for anyone who wants to achieve real business
intelligence. It advances the discipline of BI by focusing on business value built upon a
strong foundation of technology best practices. Nancy and Steve Williams understand the "business" in business intelligence.
This book is a must for business leaders who require that their BI programs drive real
business value. Business Intelligence (BI): It's not just a technology. It's not just a methodology. It's a powerful new management approach that - when done right - can deliver knowledge, efficiency, better decisions, and profit to almost any organization that uses it. When BI first came on the scene, it promised a lot but often failed to deliver. The missing element was the business-centric focus explained in The Profit Impact of Business Intelligence. Written by BI gurus Steve Williams and Nancy Williams, The Profit Impact of Business Intelligence shows step by step how you can achieve the promise of BI by connecting it to your organization's strategic goals, culture, and strengths while correcting your BI weaknesses. Provides a practical, process-oriented guide to achieve the full promise of BI. Shows how world-class companies used BI to become leaders in their industries. Helps senior business and IT executives understand the strategic impact of BI and how they can ensure a strong payoff from their BI investments. Identifies the most common mistakes organizations make in implementing BI. Includes a helpful glossary of BI terms. Includes a BI readiness assessment for your organization. Includes Web links and extensive references for more information. Steve Williams, President and founder of DecisionPath Consulting, is a leading advocate of business-driven BI design and development. His consulting firm is one of the largest in the specialized field of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing. Steve has over 23 years experience in information systems and systems engineering and has co-authored a training course on the BI Pathway Method.
