Some issues we’ve brought on ourselves. Issues created by internal causes: ● Reversing Sub-Optimization – for years, we’ve developed BI environments “in spite of” underperforming tools. ● Managing “Chartjunk” – Experience should have taught us by now that needless data absolutely diminishes the value of BI analytics. ● Redefining ODS – We need to view our operational data stores as a strategic asset rather than passive storage of historical data ● Buy vs. Build – Despite a lot of historical resistance to buy © 2009 IBM Corporation components versus build it yourself, most firms now consider their buy alternatives as advantageous. © 2009 IBM Corporation 5

Information Maturity Assessment • At what level do you currently manage and use information within your enterprise? • How broadly integrated is your information? • What policies & practices do you have regarding information governance? • How broadly do you need to provide access to information across your organization? • Can you measure data quality and determine its variability, value & costs? • What types of analytical capabilities are important to you and your users? …to what degree do you have a “unified” strategy for managing information? © 2009 IBM Corporation 13
