Since 2005, I participated in more than a large-scale seminar on the BI, and BI vendor pre-sales personnel and sales staff more frequent small-scale consultations. The seminar combined with BO, I think the BI's "management style" increasingly strong, mainly in the following three points:
1, BI showed the officers the "management awareness" has increased;
Second, BI product management roles and methods, and process management functions such as brand deeper;
Third, the audience questions are non-technical details of the management has increased;
These changes, I think, for market reasons. Management BI Vincent concentration, indicating that BI from the business closer.
August, Business Objects Hyatt Hotel in Hangzhou, organized a "business intelligence light tomorrow," Business intelligence solutions seminar in Hangzhou station. There are two agenda of the meeting, one hundred years, Dr. Lu lecture "business intelligence highlight your core competencies," the question; Second, Mr. Jia Xuejie to explain and demonstrate BO Product Overview and industry applications. The former from the management philosophy, management methods, and introduced the company's BI BI and BO overall solution framework; which from a technical point of view, around the BO's BI BI products introduced the framework of the overall product.
Since 2005, I participated in more than a large-scale seminar on the BI, and BI vendor pre-sales personnel and sales staff more frequent small-scale consultations. The seminar combined with BO, I think the BI's "management style" increasingly strong, mainly in the following three points.

Whether to send the lecturer BI vendors or integrators to discuss the pre and staff, their status, profession or conversation and simply reflects the different management techniques flavor. Who have acquired BRIO, it acquired Hyperion by Oracle in 2005 and 2006 in Hangzhou for the propaganda on the apparent this process. Hyperion grams of speech and love will talk about performance management, personnel management theories with the more obvious sense; BO company seminar this month, the first speaker Lu Boshi as Tsinghua, Peking University, MBA consultants, published on Performance Management monographs, and in many large-scale forum speech, communication and advocacy of the concept of enterprise management and information technology concepts and methods. Another technology demonstration by Mr. Jia said the BO product implemented or being implemented Lu Boshi guidance on the management theory of product architecture. Such as with the IBI, Informatica BI manufacturers such as pre-negotiation, they can give you a clearer description of BCG Matrix, SWOT method. General feeling of people introduced BI technology is no longer purely a mask.
Second, BI demo products or interface with the management thinking and methods of obvious
In recent years, BI products and methods in management roles, management functions and processes such as deeper mark.
BO in the symposium to demonstrate the less time Crystal Reports, on the contrary in its performance management product suite in a large number of show management dashboards, scorecards. Dashboard no longer just a simple kind of color and graphics combination, which contains a lot of business logic and linear programming model for computing the optimal solution. In fact, this Dashboard is more like war gaming. For example, when managers are wondering whether or not the price adjustment, or to what extent can we guarantee the price adjustment to the yield and cost, sales and profits and the best four persons, he adjusted the price of instrument panel sliding button, you can immediately see the output of related , cost, sales, profit changes, according to the final price of the most profitable choice right. Another example is the Customs Import and Export SAS early warning and monitoring system using an econometric model, through the fluctuation coefficient, diffusion index, multiple regression, simultaneous equations, vector autoregressive, integrated elasticity approach, combined with panel data to find hidden risk of customs administration , recovery should be in back of the tariff. Of course, most BI vendors of front-end display products are embedded in the market - product matrix, BSC tool, decision tree, DuPont analysis, management tools, which can not be imagined 23 years ago.
BI products corresponding management level roles are increasingly widespread, high level managers and lower the actual function of the corresponding operators have. Such as the IBI of the O-Clicks ,1-Click ,2-Click ,3-Click, 4 + Clicks is one example.
In the current performance management applications, BI products around the long-term planning and short-term planning, implementation monitoring, problem analysis and timely adjustment process of the actual award BI applications, in essence, to plan, organize, lead and motivate management functions such as concrete. These changes and the BO in Hyperion products such as manufacturers can be evident.
Third, the audience questions are non-technical details of the management of increased
The workshop site filled with audience. Lectures by the instructor interaction that most of the information center staff for the work that is predominantly technical personnel. In the regular Q & A period, questions from the audience said that optimize your Dashboard well, by adjusting an input variable could be the effect of profit values. But this model is how the formula established? Over who answered, you said the model has two categories of data models, one is the business model. I think you are talking about business models. The basic formula for business model depends on the operational personnel to construction companies, which most actual enterprise. Of course, the relationship between the various indicators can be defined in the BO products. Another audience question then, said the indicators of each relationship how to choose? All these issues are directed toward one direction, that is why building this relationship, or correlation between Dashboard in chains, to establish whether this indicator chain resolved business problem. Obviously, these technicians taking into account the business issues and problems to solve the basic relationship between the BI function is an important source. And the first two years of technical questions asked staff to be a report to see shows, or ask how to do so on technical details of the drill, and this is quite different.
These changes, I think, for market reasons. Management BI Vincent concentration, indicating that BI is getting closer and away from the business; close to the business, corporate status and implementation of BI in the distance between the target will become increasingly reduced, the so-called BI success rate will increase. Once truly align with business to business guide BI, will bring BI at the conceptual level, implementation level and the three basic dimensions of change. This change and its influence can truly reflect the value of BI.
