The Emergence Of Process-Centric BI

Focusing On Business Process Is Crucial For Performance Management

by Keith Gile

with Philip Russom, Connie Moore, Colin Teubner


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Measuring corporate performance demands that IT align data assets with business processes. Today's business intelligence (BI) vendor products lack a consistent mechanism for defining, managing, and implementing or inheriting prescribed business processes from external applications. Consequently, BI-based performance management is useful only to a handful of employees that target strategic initiatives that are based exclusively on the available data, and not the processes, that the data supports.
