Business Intelligence 101

Although business intelligence technology is the best way to analyze discrete pieces of information and use them for competitive advantage, CIOs sometimes have trouble explaining its benefit to others within the organization. But without the ability to explain its benefits and how it works, CIOs have a hard time gaining champions for the technology, which can eliminate data isolation and redundancy, improving efficiency. To combat this issue, more enterprises have launched or begun to consider formalized training organizations known as Business Intelligence Competency Centers. These centers generally are comprised of cross-functional teams of people from IT and business units and set the stage for "evangelizing" BI to end users.
