Business Intelligence Blueprint Modeling

In recent years many organizations have experienced an explosion of BI, analytics and data transformation demand, as well as a myriad of vendor solutions and service offerings. Many have seen significant adoption and usage of new tools, with new roles emerging, new forms of analysis, and distribution via multiple platforms. This has been driven by Big Data capabilities and digital marketing strategies in particular, with a new ability to understand customer behaviour in particular.

From a business perspective some fundamental questions remain though. Who is receiving all BI and analytics material? What real insights are being drawn and are correct decisions and subsequent actions being undertaken? Most importantly, are business strategies and operational targets being well supported by the BI ecosystem?

Consilium Blue offers a service to define and map the associations between all components within a customer's BI ecosystem, building a line of sight from data to decisions and actions. The scope covers all activity from a first step to an end result, as well as identifying which groups, roles and management levels interact with each element. The outcome is a holistic but detailed BI Blueprint - an interactive visual environment allowing dissection and filtering of all components, with supporting documentation.

A modeling / roadmapping toolset constructed by Consilium Blue is used in this exercise, with the future option for its continued use by customers on a subscription basis. The following diagram outlines the core concept and all areas in focus:

Key features of the service and associated blueprint service are:

Components can be selected as in-scope or out-of-scope by a customer as part of the engagement process.
Information is typically sourced from existing applications' user and technical documentation followed by in-depth interviews with application owners or equivalent.
Work may be conducted on-site or remotely via teleconference & videoconference, as per customer agreements.
Confidentiality of customer information is sacrosanct and all non-disclosure agreements will be strictly observed.
Sample approaches & definitions will be provided during the engagement.
The output is a comprehensive blueprint with supporting documentation containing all input material, all analyses, and includes an interactive visual means to query the blueprint based on different filtering perspectives.
Access to the toolset used during the engagement to make ongoing alterations to the blueprint will be available in the future on a monthly subscription basis if required. (The delivered blueprint does not require this toolset though.)
