In this book excerpt published on SearchBusinessAnalytics.com, I write about why taking a siloed approach to creating a BI architecture framework leads to problems. The excerpt is from chapter 4 of my book Business Intelligence Guidebook: From Data Integration to Analytics.
In the chapter, I provide insight as to how the BI environment in many organizations has been waylaid by the siloed approach to IT and application development. I also explain the benefits of a comprehensive and well-planned BI architecture strategy, and list the four architectural layers of a BI framework.
