Business Intelligence Competency Centers (BICC)
Business Intelligence Competency Centers Succeed More Often
A business intelligence solution requires a competency center for lasting success. As business intelligence becomes increasingly strategic, IT departments need to manage and support deployments across divisions, regions, and functions. Organizations need to link their reporting, analysis, scorecarding, and other capabilities under the performance management umbrella to work together as a single solution. Comprised of a working team of IT and business intelligence users, a Business Intelligence Competency Center (BICC) centralizes organizational knowledge and best practices for standardizing, implementing, and managing business intelligence software across the organization. Establishing a successful BICC depends on the right planning and implementation. For this type of expertise, companies around the world turn to Cognos.
