Your Enterprise BI Strategy should start with the business requirements, not with the

DWH

Key Points to take home

Use Cases should come from the business, not from the IT department

Users don‘t need all BI client products, but will not always be satisfied with a single

product.

Make use of Product Interoperability for sharing and navigation purposes.

Remember…. There is no ―silver bullet‖. If in doubt – let the business decide.

Thank You!
