To B or not to B, what can I do? - Arun Gupta, Group CIO, K Raheja Group

Business Intelligence means different things to different people. Some global case studies claim 1000+% ROI, while Research analysts claim that 80% of these initiatives fail to deliver. In India, the practice and adoption has been growing by multiples rather than percentage. The discussion based on personal experience is to explore various facets of BI reality in the Indian context and benchmark with global best practices.

In the current digital age where organizations are globally spread, managing and maintaining quality of data is an important challenge to address. This challenge is more significant for Global BI Systems (GBIS) because maintaining the Global Business Rules (GBR) and Local Business Rules (LBR) in the same system will be very difficult. To design the GBIS, this paper presents additional decision parameters to decide the appropriate architecture for GBIS, and to maintain data quality for global and local requirements. This paper presents four different types of organization scenarios and associated architectures which can be implemented within organizations, enabling top management to have actionable intelligence.
