Creating Decision Centers

Presentation Summary

Marco Cestaro, State University of New York

Bridging the gap between BI Professionals and non-BI professionals is one of the greatest challenges of any Business Intelligence program. Decision Centers create a conduit that can be used by those in need of information to communicate to those who provide the information. This creates a link between business strategies and tactics, the information required to support them, and the technologies used to deliver information. This session will be an introduction to Decision Centers and the components that comprise them. An expanded review of the methodology used to develop Decision Centers is the focus for much of the session. A brief look at where this process fits into an overall strategic plan for information access will be included as well.
