2013 ERP research: Compelling advice for the CFO : Enterprise Irregulars - 0 views

ERP vendor selection. As the following graph shows, the primary candidates for ERP software were SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Epicor, and Infor:
-
The cloud question. Despite the hype, only 14 percent of respondents are using ERP delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS). Although the best cloud vendors can deliver superior security and reliability than most internal IT departments, market momentum to ERP in the cloud is not there yet, as the following diagram illustrates:
-
Important lessons. Implementing an ERP system is always complex because the deployment drives changes to both data and processes that extend across departmental boundaries inside the organization.

Although Roambi, and Microstrategy seem to be doing all of the right things with Mobile BI, there are several major BI Vendors that are not or there is simply room for improvement. Also on the topic of Mobile BI, one of the barriers of 2012 was the concern for securing Mobile BI within an organization. There has been a rise of solutions but no true standardization. Oracle has produced their Mobile Security Tool Kit for Oracle BI and we will dive into that very soon as well (have Mac OS, will travel).

We hope this year to compare Oracle Endeca along with QlikView, and Spotfire to break apart the vendor specific functionality and give rise to insights on how to form successful solutions to the overall problem of self-service analysis of Big Data and traditional Data Warehouse data.

Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms - 0 views
-
Integration BI infrastructure: All tools in the platform use the same security, metadata, administration, portal integration, object model and query engine, and should share the same look and feel. Metadata management: Tools should leverage the same metadata, and the tools should provide a robust way to search, capture, store, reuse and publish metadata objects, such as dimensions, hierarchies, measures, performance metrics and report layout objects. Development tools: The platform should provide a set of programmatic and visual tools, coupled with a software developer's kit for creating analytic applications, integrating them into a business process, and/or embedding them in another application. Collaboration: Enables users to share and discuss information and analytic content, and/or to manage hierarchies and metrics via discussion threads, chat and annotations.
-
Information Delivery Reporting: Provides the ability to create formatted and interactive reports, with or without parameters, with highly scalable distribution and scheduling capabilities. Dashboards: Includes the ability to publish Web-based or mobile reports with intuitive interactive displays that indicate the state of a performance metric compared with a goal or target value. Increasingly, dashboards are used to disseminate real-time data from operational applications, or in conjunction with a complex-event processing engine. Ad hoc query: Enables users to ask their own questions of the data, without relying on IT to create a report. In particular, the tools must have a robust semantic layer to enable users to navigate available data sources. Microsoft Office integration: Sometimes, Microsoft Office (particularly Excel) acts as the reporting or analytics client. In these cases, it is vital that the tool provides integration with Microsoft Office, including support for document and presentation formats, formulas, data "refreshes" and pivot tables. Advanced integration includes cell locking and write-back. Search-based BI: Applies a search index to structured and unstructured data sources and maps them into a classification structure of dimensions and measures that users can easily navigate and explore using a search interface. Mobile BI: Enables organizations to deliver analytic content to mobile devices in a publishing and/or interactive mode, and takes advantage of the mobile client's location awareness.
-
Analysis Online analytical processing (OLAP): Enables users to analyze data with fast query and calculation performance, enabling a style of analysis known as "slicing and dicing." Users are able to navigate multidimensional drill paths. They also have the ability to write back values to a proprietary database for planning and "what if" modeling purposes. This capability could span a variety of data architectures (such as relational or multidimensional) and storage architectures (such as disk-based or in-memory). Interactive visualization: Gives users the ability to display numerous aspects of the data more efficiently by using interactive pictures and charts, instead of rows and columns. Predictive modeling and data mining: Enables organizations to classify categorical variables, and to estimate continuous variables using mathematical algorithms. Scorecards: These take the metrics displayed in a dashboard a step further by applying them to a strategy map that aligns key performance indicators (KPIs) with a strategic objective. Prescriptive modeling, simulation and optimization: Supports decision making by enabling organizations to select the correct value of a variable based on a set of constraints for deterministic processes, and by modeling outcomes for stochastic processes.

Should your company hire a Chief Data Officer? | Enterprise CIO Forum - 0 views
-
Today, every business is a data business. If you’re a manufacturer of consumer goods, supply chain is absolutely central to what you do, and that’s software. It is all about data. That’s the back end. On the front end, social is absolutely critical if you’re in a consumer-facing business. This makes me recollect Geoffrey Moore’s notion about the implications of systems of engagement for corporations. Systems of engagement—such as Facebook, Google, and so on—generate vast amounts of information about consumer behavior.
-
And this is why enterprises are hiring CDOs. The information in systems of engagement becomes absolutely critical to large-scale successful consumer businesses. If you’re not leveraging it, then your competitor will outpace you in terms of customer knowledge.
-
CDO wears two hats. On one hand, the CDO is responsible for securing the customer data that’s inside the enterprise. In markets where the privacy laws are extremely strict (such as Germany or Canada), that’s a serious responsibility. At a global company, the CDO must manage consumer data at different levels in different countries in different ways, or creating an enterprise standard for data management globally that reflects the toughest regulation anywhere, which is what HP does.
