Business Intelligence is like a picnic?

Well, this is video that I had made May 2010 just to play the tool. It is funny to say that I am personally sometimes surprised by my fast actions. I could have even done this video earlier, the tool was just a reason to make it . The reason I am bringing this to table again is that you just need to take an action sometimes because volatile environment never lets you assign strategy. In fact, even big BI vendors could assign strong BI strategy for long time. They all acted tactical. There are many examples in the market.
In short, I believe that this is not a magic game, it is about balancing to define strategy as and execution process with capabilities regardless of how big BI vendor you are or boutique BI supplier like us. In current technology world, technology integration is not an issue, the real issue is that using technology to enable business; parameters here are resourcing, knowledge, time, speed, satisfaction, , ambition. You do not have to have all right away but if you have these in balanced way; success is over there. I this case, you only need is ambition and passion to keep going, which is sometimes even more requirement or triggering for success. Nothing different from planning to have picnic ! Yes it starts with “wishing to go picnic” but also requires find necessary places in suitable weather and inevitable logistics (food) :) . BI projects and tools are like having a picnic. The best picnic experience depends on you and your selection.:) You can anyhow go to picnic, the important issue is how satisfied you are afterwards..

QlikView

Tattoo vs Make-up , which one you like for Business Intelligence outcome?

I have been thinking to write about this blog post for some time due to hectic times; my meeting with one of the world giant SAP customer triggered me to do this. I was at customer site with one of our senior consultant for QlikView requirements that they ask us to do with QV. What we have realized that this SAP customer has been using QlikView for years happily, since it gives them advanced visualization, intuitive simple usage, fast, spontaneous  as well as provide unknown and hidden facts in addition to SELF-DEVELOPMENT. Their usage is very much primitive from BI perspective, since they develop QV files and share with others with either e-mail or via centralized folder. (there is no even QV server). The customer told me that they have completed BW project long time ago followed by Business Objects implementation after BO acquisition. The surprising fact is that they have never quit QV usage, not even thought about it. (they are using outdated version of QV though ) Despite their primitive usage as well as too many manual data load or extraction into excel files from SAP, they were extremely happy to use Qlikview. Whenever our topic came to do “why do you do such a lot of manual works prior to QV ” , they were not even satisfied internally by their response , since they knew that it was meaningless from technical perspective but what they have been doing is that “ignore politics instead of fighting internal with IT ” . Situation was clear. They had to implement BW in the past, they had to implement BO and they have to use it anyway but satisfaction has never been obtained by business users, so they continued to use QV.   When we look at BI usage; however, sales, finance even C-Level management use QV. Actually to honest, we have been often faced similar cases, especially at SAP customers. However, there is also fact that business users are happy with QlikView regardless of what they have invested.  While we were showing some reactions against this habit, we are pretty much used to seeing it. It is not our job to criticize customers; in fact, we now enjoy seeing it. Why? Because as a BI service supplier, this is very much satisfying to see how QV is inevitable for business users, while we used to deal with always IT for many issues with traditional BI tools. These users always advocate about QV, which bring many other projects, even if they cannot extend the internal QV deployment due to political war.

Yes QlikView is like a perfectly designed tattoo on each business bodies (units) that nobody can easily take it off, while traditional BI tools act in the organizations just temporarily make up? Doubtless, this is just “similitude”, but don’t you think that kinda correct? Business expects to meet their expectations  permanently.
