This document outlines the challenges in the current business intelligence (BI) environment, including inconsistent data, lack of OLAP support, and bottlenecks caused by reliance on Central IT for reporting. It proposes a future BI environment focused on transparency, self-service capabilities, and a single, consistent data warehouse. Key guiding principles include simplifying processes, eliminating redundancies, reducing licensing costs, and promoting data accessibility. A migration plan is also suggested, advocating for standardization on Microsoft SQL Server BI Infrastructure and emphasizing stakeholder analysis for successful implementation.

Drivers for Change At a lower, more sustainable cost of ownership
Current BI Environment Multiple data warehousing storage methods that contain inconsistent data. No Support for OLAP No consistency in data definitions and business rules Limited ways to view data All reporting needs have to go through Central IT, resulting in bottlenecks Business logic in multiple places and inconsistent with each other. Business logic not transparent to customers Heavy reporting load on transactional systems
Design Guiding Principles • Keep it Simple; Eliminate redundancies and failure points • Reduce licensing costs and total cost of ownership • Provide BI self-service capabilities • Promote transparency
Future BI Environment Business logic is transparent to customers More visualization choices Consistent business logic in one place Single data warehouse that contains consistent data Support for OLAP Self Service BI Mashup Data! Reduced IT bottlenecks Data is persisted in models; reduced load on transactional systems
