 Integrated
Data Warehousing, Business Intelligence & CPM
October
2004 - Summary
Developments in corporate governance like the US Sarbanes-Oxley
Act and equivalent European legislation have put a new spotlight
on gathering accurate management information.
This has brought a renewed focus on making sure data warehousing,
business intelligence (BI) and corporate performance management
(CPM) applications are all in place, integrated, cost-effective
and producing the right results.
Our Management Briefing articles look at the different aspects
of this challenge.
Gregg Taylor of Accenture believes
the need to integrate information-gathering software with
mainline enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems is creating
a whole new class of software.
Cath Lavery focuses on the ‘death
by data’ problem of ending up with too much information.
She makes the point that business intelligence applications
only work if the business applies intelligence to their application.
Rupert Cavendish says the inevitable result of making
management information more widely available is that it’s
a lot easier to hack into that data. He advises on security
policy.
