Major Challenges of Business Intelligence

According to a recent Novarica study – Business Intelligence in Insurance: Current State, Challenges, and Expectations – some of the major challenges facing insurers in implementing Business Intelligence solutions come from data access and data quality.

Solving this requires addressing questions such as: How do I consolidate duplicate information and ensure accuracy? How do I deal with disparate data formats? How do I place the right results in the hands of key employees at the right time?

Strategies and tactics for resolving such issues will be the focus of a presentation by Navin Sharma, Director of Global Product Strategy, Data Quality for PBBI at the 2011 Insurance-Canada.ca Technology Conference. Navin has more than a decade of experience dealing directly with such questions.

Navin joins an experienced faculty focusing on “Business Results Through Informed Action” on February 28, 2011, at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto. We hope to see you there.

In the meantime, we’re interested in what you think.

What has been your experience implementing BI? Are data issues the most challenging, or are there others?
