When you start a complex project, no matter whether you are sized, you must first create a high level of design or architecture that adapts to the final product and the environment. This architecture acts as an action guide, guiding how developers make partners and interactions and collaborate. Project start is not as difficult as you think. However, there are some things to consider and reach a consensus. When developing business intelligence and management systems, I found four important success factors: Reliable architecture first I hope to explain the need for architectural guidelines, which is a successful factor that satisfies satisfactory. We have found that the Corporate Information Factory has been proven to be reasonable. It can be easily implemented in iterative modes. When processing eternal changes, the corporate information plant will bring you huge scalability, which can be used for a long time. A strong cooperative relationship between business groups and IT is a difficulty in business that has a compelling and resolved problem in business. Typically, business groups do not understand their own needs, so they cannot clearly define how they use technology. In simple case, it is considered that only business intelligence systems are not enough. Business groups must be responsible for submitting the definition of resources and proposing a solution. These organizers must propose their needs and knowledge within the field, and they cannot stand behind IT can separately define this solution. Business must understand the necessary conditions for successful strategic decisions, and when these systems are used, how they interact with business processes, etc. Business groups should work with IT staff to ensure demand can be understood and the process is reasonable. On the other hand, IT staff must welcome business groups to join, carefully listened and understand new business models. There is no doubt that the business processes and systems that already exist will affect the quality of data. Business must improve the reaction speed, and fix key data quality issues in the source. This means that the existing procedures will be changed, rehabilitate people to adapt to new processes, analyze the source of the problem even change the workflow. Creating a corporate information factory requires a methodology different from traditional software development life cycle, it requires rapid development of prototypes, and may not be fully finalized in the beginning of the project. Therefore, commercial initiators need to adopt this spiral methodology, do not have to post a whole project once. They should be prepared from the acquisition from a time iteration. It means that the program management department may need to sort and control the project's commitment. Finally, the business group must be the leader of the program, and the initiator should continue their actions, such as the process change, staff position, data quality and user training. Finally, you must be familiar with the input and collaboration of these systems. The business should be responsible for ensuring that all users are very proficient in these processes and components. Defining a good business issue For any corporate information factory project, participants maintain strictly correct range, which is difficult. It is a balanced art in a reasonable time. I suggest that each project develops a standard scope document definition that needs to be resolved, related to the system, related to the person-related, the most important delivery, gives assumptions and listing risks and Fee list. The scope document is an activity of a living document. When chaotic occurs, the range document should be re-audited and re-issued. There is a benefit of the standard scope document, that is, it is expected to be accurate. The limitations of IT and business people to accept the project are as important as they are accepting the benefits of the project. Remember, each project is just one of the steps to integrate business. Actively accept changes if you start a new business activity. Understanding and accepting new processes is a very difficult thing. How people link companies with changes in these systems. The business of the enterprise is sent to the needs of the skilled team, and the world network has the ability to increase distributed work. The increasing number of companies will transfer from the employees to the team on the value chain. You find that work is rarely distributed, which means that IT and business groups work closely together, forming professional personnel with cross-discipline, they can understand technology and business simultaneously.
Summary This article discusses business operations, business intelligence and business management, emphasizing the difference between strategic and tactical decisions. Enterprise Information Factory is a perfect architecture to provide these two decisions. Start starting and developing this environment, people discuss many key success factors. It is believed that there must be a strong relationship between a well-defined business problem, business group and IT. Finally, enterprises must change their business habits, accept different business habits that have different today. From the Chinese business intelligence network by Jiao Yudan compilation Note: Enterprise Information Factory is the founder of the data warehouse, and there is currently a Chinese translation.
