BI-DW Assessment

Measure Existing Data Systems & Capabilities

Decision making in your business depends on timely, accurate, and complete information and in many organizations that information may be “out there” in existing systems and applications. How do you bring the information into a singular view? Can you reconcile different ways that different systems handle similar information? Is your information gathering a manual effort or just too much effort?

The questions, “How are we doing?” and “Why are we performing this way?” can be addressed with a Business Intelligence (BI) system. Such a system can help analyze and inform business performance and direction but only if your applications and organization are ready for it.

A Business Intelligence system depends on three things:
  1. A consistent representation of your business information.
  2. A consolidated, reconciled view of information from across the enterprise.
  3. Intuitive visualization that shows what you need to know.
Compuware’s Business Intelligence-Data Warehouse (BI-DW) Assessment will measure the existing data systems and capabilities to support a business intelligence system and to meet business needs for BI in your organization. After careful analysis of your needs, your resources, and market alternatives, Compuware professionals will provide an objective, holistic, and actionable set of recommendations. These recommendations can be used to identify the quick-return “low hanging fruit” projects or to justify programs to create enduring BI-driven decision making across the enterprise.

Compuware has the capabilities and expertise to deliver BI-DW Assessments that you can use. Our approach is to begin with business needs, gather a complete current state including the infrastructure and processes to support business intelligence, and then to process findings into recommendations that can be used in project planning, strategic planning, and budget planning. Then Compuware has the resources and delivery capabilities to manage and execute projects that you will launch to build relevant and vibrant information visualization.
