IT heads seem to be having their heads taken out deciding upon a enterprise reporting strategy. A true enterprise wide solution ( read as database and middle layer agnostic) is an infrastructure behemoth. It demands costs, new technology etc etc. Is it worth what enterprise sized organizations need ?
Part of the problem is that predictive analytics, multiple database layer access etc is required only by to management. Very few people.
Instead of spending millions they may as well as hire a couple of data crunchers and integrate the data using excel.
Many organizations are barely able to cope with changing the information they need which keeps changing very frequently these days what with new way of communicating changing what and where information is being captured. In other words they barely can do operational reporting. Strategic reporting is still aeons away.
And then there is the problem of content. While the technology is available, content is still not on the cards. Its simply not available and is non standardized even across industries. Am looking forward to see how enterprises are developing their reporting strategy. Any comments are most welcome.
