The November issue of Baseline features a large piece on business intelligence, “Getting Smarter, But Still Learning.” In the article, Darrell Dun writes about the growing adoption of BI, as well as the obstacles that are keeping it from reaching its full potential. The article includes a list of pain points identified by CIO Insight’s October survey on BI. Here’s a snapshot of what respondents using BI identify as their biggest pain points:
-64% say integration and interoperability with other systems such as customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning pose a problem.
-57% say poor data quality significantly diminishes the value of their BI initiatives.
-67% say spreadsheets are still their most widely used BI tool.
-58% say most users misunderstand or ignore data produced by BI tools because they don’t know how to analyze it.
