Enterprise BI Architecture Groups: The Key to Effective Agile Data Warehousing Programs

Leader: Ralph Hughes, Senior Consultant, Cutter Consortium

Agile data warehousing delivers powerful BI applications in the shortest time frame possible, yet coordinating multiple fast-moving BI teams demands more than simple project management. Organizations need an enterprise business intelligence architecture (EBIA) function to coordinate high-level requirements, designs, and technologies in order to avoid ruinously expensive mistakes and redundancies.

This workshop, led by Cutter Senior Consultant Ralph Hughes, will help your organization create an environment where an enterprise data warehouse will naturally emerge from multiple agile data mart development projects. You'll learn how to evolve the commonplace architecture review board into an EBIA function that can align the deliverables of the agile development teams.

This workshop will help you:

• Improve the speed and quality of your projects
• Discover the challenges and benefits an EBIA group can offer agile teams
• Deliver your crucial BI applications more efficiently
• Forecast the services and productivity tools you'll need ahead of time
• Persuade your development teams to voluntarily align with corporate warehousing goals
• Gain insight into your organization's collective operations and competitiveness

You'll also get a suggested 120-day plan for implementing an EBIA function in the average organization as a starting vision for the work, milestones, and funding that an effective enterprise warehouse alignment program will require.
