BI Implementation Challenges
Access to frequently needed data is difficult
Data is not presented in easily understandable
formats
Culling data from multiple sources is very difficult
Difficulty understanding database schemas and
related table structures
High cost navigating the implementation road map
from conception to implementation
Users and IT departments on different wave-
lengths
Poor data quality, Bad data = bad decisions
Data locked up in non-collaborative spreadsheets

2. Why do corporations struggle for actionable analytics?
A recent benchmarking project by Ventana Research reveals that
Operational data is not providing information in actionable
formats required for CFOs & Finance Departments for making
decisions.
The same research also shows that companies struggle to
accomplish the basic goal of information management - that is,
to standardize Operational information in a consistent and
reliable form. Only 27 percent of the participants said doing that
requires minimal effort or is not a problem. All the rest (73
percent) reported they find it difficult or impractical.
The top priority for participants was to support a BI initiative in the
operational and customer service sectors.
The reasons for not getting a 100 % ROI on BI initiatives
Implementing custom BI solutions from the ground-up turns out to
be more ambitious than bargained for
Management and Analysts have inadequate knowledge of the
features and limitations of newly acquired BI tools
Users are unable to integrate data from disparate and far-flung data
sources from both within and outside the organization
Simple reports with static and tabular views of operational data do
not provide the visualizations the users need
It takes users too long to develop complex reports and dashboards
Reports are not suitable for management or executives
Presentation quality, dashboards, etc are needed but not
delivered
Accessing and analyzing non-Lawson data is difficult
Challenges with distribution of information across the organization
and outside the enterprise with security
Expert database schema knowledge is required for even the most
basic reporting
Users face problems with passing parameter to/from the Lawson
environment
Stretched IT resources are required for creating any report or
dashboard that is even marginally complex
Operational changes in business puts a tremendous burden on
adapting deployed reports and dashboards to remain functional
Difficult to adapt BI tools for compliance and taxation related
analytics
