The evolving landscape of Business Intelligence (BI) necessitates a shift from traditional, fragmented approaches towards standardized solutions. As the BI user community diversifies and demands greater functionality, organizations must adapt to these changes by integrating BI as a critical infrastructure component. This includes establishing strong governance, fostering collaboration through steering groups and competence centers, and addressing both technological and political barriers to standardization. By adopting a single BI standard, organizations can simplify processes, enhance agility, and ultimately improve performance while reducing total cost of ownership.
