Challenges Objectives
Key Decision…Build or Buy
Develop everything from the ground Up
Buy an established template for E1 data connection
Decision: We preferred to go with a pre-built starter DW & BI solution with an established Oracle partner with JDE E1 experience
Key Decision…Direct Connect to JDE E1 or
Traditional Enterprise Data Warehouse
Different tools and approaches for data sources across the company
Common Framework with Foundation & Options for Future Expansion
Decision: Given overall needs, we preferred an Enterprise Data Warehouse• E1 primary, but not only data source• Long Term vision for BI and DW
Project PlanningKey Considerations
■ Limited budget for full evaluation/selection/strategy development■ Think Big, Start Small: Build the foundation first with long term vision in
mind■ Capability to deliver and support – IT is and will likely be a lean team■ BI doesn’t start with the reporting tool, but building the Data
Warehouse■ To do this properly, it will take time, effort, and money
The Road to overhaul our BI and DW ■ End of 2012, initial budget and proposed plan for 2013
▪ Formal BI & DW Strategic Analysis and Plan▪ Solution Evaluation – technologies and JDE partners▪ Software Acquisition▪ Plan Implementation and Initiate build out
■ What actually happened in 2013!▪ Proposed budget cut in half▪ Reduced Evaluation to Microsoft Validation▪ Reviewed and found DW/BI Partner▪ Planned and implemented initial subject areas▪ Came in under revised, reduced budget!
