Many business intelligence programs have delivered a solid initial rollout, but program managers still find themselves challenged in getting beyond those first targets. Often the methods which ushered in the early ROI are too free-flowing and unmanageable when users are counting on the warehouse for production needs. And once the concept is proven, recouping the investment requires a rollout beyond the initial set of core users. However, prospective users of business intelligence require more than a well-built infrastructure in order to convert them to daily users. Attracting users — which is required for success — can be a difficult and elongated process.
Enterprise Information Management (EIM) encompasses a set of strategies for organizational management of all aspects of enterprise data as information assets. The proper models, data architecture, application architecture, and integration vision enables using the “enterprise information asset” for strategic analysis, customer-centricity, performance and productivity analytics, and personalization, eventually providing a means for transitioning from an operational, line-of-business oriented application environment to an intelligent, learning, and agile organization.
