Analytics RoadmapCrossing the Chasm

©2015 Emtec Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED www.emtecinc.com

BUSINESS CHALLENGES

The consumerization of technology has transformed our analytic

expectations in our professional lives. We want our data quick, detailed,

and visually appealing. Did I mention that we want our data quick?

Most organizations understand many of the needs and business

opportunities that Analytics can address. Most organizations have even

had some minor successes when it comes to a BI or Analytics project.

Challenges arises when an organization attempts to standardize their

analytics strategy and business process approach across the enterprise.

Crossing the Chasm to ‘high integrity’ data quality that allows for self-

service end-user functionality can prove to be an unfathomable journey.

The IT organization is challenged with supporting enterprise-wide

data governance while still giving various departments the flexibility,

personalization, and autonomy needed to progress their organizational and

personal goals.

Furthermore, justifying the business case and ROI for any analytics initiative

is becoming harder to quantify as the crowded technology market leads to

more confusion than clarity.

TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGES

IT organizations need to give their internal ‘customers’ what they need to do

their job. Alignment with the overall corporate IT strategy is also expected.

These 2 objectives rarely see eye-to-eye. In order to provide the data

governance and departmental independence around Analytics and Big Data

initiatives, technology leaders must look at many different variables:

• Enterprise vs. Departmental reporting requirements

• Structured vs. Unstructured data needs

• Big Data use cases

• Real-time Analytics use cases

• Tool inundation

• Software vendor strategy & consolidation

• Security

ORGANIZATIONAL QUESTIONS

Why do we have so many disparate reporting tools?

What’s the difference between enterprise analytics and data visualization?

How do I delineate between analytics, data mining, and big data?

What does ‘Big Data’ mean to my organization and me? Where would a

‘big data’ platform move the needle for my company?

Will an Enterprise Data Warehouse address all of my analytical needs?

How can a cloud-delivered analytics model align with my corporate goals?

What is the difference between data mining and data discovery?

Should I focus on data transformation or the end-user interface?

OUR APPROACH: CONSENSUS BY COLLABORATION

Emtec understands that every client is in a different phase of their Analytics

Maturity journey. As such, our approach takes into account both the

business and technology organizations. The key is to build an executable

roadmap that will progress the ability for the business to make timely and

informed business decisions. In many cases, we want to ask new questions

that have never been asked before. Collaboration is key to Consensus.

An executable consensus is key to making a positive difference in the

organization.
