Getting Off the Ground: A Panel Discussion on Starting DW/BI Initiatives

Presentation Summary

How does a college move from talking about a data warehousing/business intelligence initiative to actually implementing one? Hear from panelists at four institutions in the early stages of delivering a DW/BI solution share their experiences in launching these unwieldly, high-risk, and politically fraught projects. Our goal is to show different approaches as well as common themes to getting off the ground with these programs. Expect to hear about the successes and the pitfalls that could help others who are also young in their DW/BI efforts or just beginning to plan for such an initiative.
