Business Intelligence:
Information as a Success Factor

The right information at the right time in the right place – this is a key success factor for companies today. Only someone who has access to up to date information on, for example, market developments, customers and competitors, internal processes or developments in politics, economy and society at all times can respond quickly to changes, make business operations more profitable and secure a competitive advantage.

BI systems: Turning data into knowledge

BI systems transform data into information by extracting, processing and combining structured, semi-structured and unstructured data from internal and external sources. By analyzing the information obtained in this way, users can generate knowledge that is relevant for decision-making.

In the case of predictable questions, the data is extracted, transformed into a consistent, harmonized state and historicized as required. In particular, this involves cleaning the data and consolidating it both syntactically and semantically. In the search for unknown correlations, the data is searched for specific patterns, for example using data mining technologies.

With new technological possibilities, new sources of data are more and more focussed on – for example, social networks or machine-generated data. This not only increases the requirements placed on the supply, processing and management of data in BI systems, but also those placed on the generation of knowledge by the users in the company.

A capable BI architecture can meet all of these demands thanks to flexible data processing, information retrieval and analysis capabilities. Collaborative functions support rapid interpretation of the information and ensure the efficient generation of knowledge as well as confident decision-making.

Process framwork msg.PROFI-BI: Flexible use in agile or phase-oriented scenarios

In our experience, the usability of general software development models for business intelligence is limited. With msg.PROFI-BI, we have further developed msg.PROFI, our tried and tested process framework for IT projects, in such a way that it is focused on specific BI-related aspects.

The great advantage of our BI process framework is its flexibility. This is because msg.PROFI-BI embeds BI-specific activities, deliverables and resources in specialist areas – and not in phases. This decoupling makes msg.PROFI-BI so flexible that it can be used in both agile and phase-oriented process models.

In the agile process model, msg.PROFI-BI uses finely detailed activities for short work steps. In the phase-oriented process model, summarizing activities, deliverables and resources are mapped to the individual phases of BI project lifecycles.
