Those familiar with Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing understand that the ever-increasing demand for relevant information, the accelerated pace of business activity and wide-spread resistance to further investment in traditional BI solutions have created the need for a more flexible means of providing information availability. This paper explores a next phase of business intelligence that places the emphasis on immediacy and action. One key to this new model, which author Mark Albala calls Post-Discovery, is replacing the reliance on data models as the fixed navigation scheme used for storing, reporting and analyzing information with a new capability that shifts the perspective to one of an enabler for responsive information accessed through a new paradigm that enables agile, insightful, pro-active decisions. |
