OUR APPROACH

Our approach to BI tool selection/evaluation centers on finding the best platform that fits the needs of your organization and the goals of your stakeholders. With our experience from hundreds of BI implementations, we consider more than surface features—we dive into the nuances that may arise with ingesting and aggregating data from your data sources in order to drive your business goals. We provide objective recommendations that are focused on you.

STEP 1:

Gather requirements via interviews with key stakeholders & partners

STEP 2:

Using our SDI BI Capability Matrix, we map your requirements to known BI platforms and assess for fit based on match to the requirements

STEP 3:

Create a short-list of platforms that fulfill the requirements, at a high level
(Optional) Step 3A – Have each platform vendor conduct a demonstration of their platform to show how it can fulfill the requirements

STEP 4:

Assess potential risks/challenges to the overall objectives, with each option

STEP 5:

Present final recommendation
