From operations to intelligence and back again
Almost every business I know would come to a screeching halt if we removed their operational business systems. Many would be out of business in a matter of days. When we make the move to operational business intelligence, the same thing will be true of business intelligence systems. In a world where intelligence is being provided to every customer or supplier touch point, and analytics are embedded in business processes throughout the organization, BI becomes mission critical. We are not far away from the day when companies will need to protect their business intelligence systems the same way they protect their operational business systems. Suddenly infrastructure matters, uptime is critical, and downtime can mean the downfall of the business.
