Analytics RoadmapCrossing the Chasm

BUSINESS CHALLENGES
The consumerization of technology has transformed our analytic
expectations in our professional lives. We want our data quick, detailed,
and visually appealing. Did I mention that we want our data quick?
Most organizations understand many of the needs and business
opportunities that Analytics can address. Most organizations have even
had some minor successes when it comes to a BI or Analytics project.
Challenges arises when an organization attempts to standardize their
analytics strategy and business process approach across the enterprise.
Crossing the Chasm to ‘high integrity’ data quality that allows for self-
service end-user functionality can prove to be an unfathomable journey.
The IT organization is challenged with supporting enterprise-wide
data governance while still giving various departments the flexibility,
personalization, and autonomy needed to progress their organizational and
personal goals.
Furthermore, justifying the business case and ROI for any analytics initiative
is becoming harder to quantify as the crowded technology market leads to
more confusion than clarity.
TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGES
IT organizations need to give their internal ‘customers’ what they need to do
their job. Alignment with the overall corporate IT strategy is also expected.
These 2 objectives rarely see eye-to-eye. In order to provide the data
governance and departmental independence around Analytics and Big Data
initiatives, technology leaders must look at many different variables:
• Enterprise vs. Departmental reporting requirements
• Structured vs. Unstructured data needs
• Big Data use cases
• Real-time Analytics use cases
• Tool inundation
• Software vendor strategy & consolidation
• Security

OUR APPROACH: CONSENSUS BY COLLABORATION
Emtec understands that every client is in a different phase of their Analytics
Maturity journey. As such, our approach takes into account both the
business and technology organizations. The key is to build an executable
roadmap that will progress the ability for the business to make timely and
informed business decisions. In many cases, we want to ask new questions
that have never been asked before. Collaboration is key to Consensus.
An executable consensus is key to making a positive difference in the
organization.
