LPS Business Intelligence Solving our clients reporting needs
Opportunities for BI Function and Value • Simplicity and ease of use • Keep it simple and intuitive otherwise it will not be used - InfoAssist is easier to learn than other applications • Integrated user interface (UI) • Consistent look and feel of with flexibility allows users to customize for themselves – personalized Dashboard, group views • Ubiquity of deployment: online, mobile, desktop • Same look and feel regardless of delivery channel • Time to market • Have to be able to turn it around in minimum iterations
Implementation Objectives • Meta Data • Provides a solution that has all of the intellectual knowledge about the use and behavior of the data built in • Not understanding the data and its behavior is one of the leading causes of failure in a BI project • Security • Separate Oracle instances for each client – use “appath” approach for segregating access to data stores • Multi-domain Deployment • Each client is a separate Domain – helps separate access to almost all of the WebFOCUS components • Performance and Scalability • Multiple reporting and reportcaster servers shared across all clients – configured for load balancing and high availability – automated failover
What Does WebFOCUS 8 do for LPS? • WF 8 is critical • Allowing a client end user to have different capabilities with different content – User can be designated as a ‘power user’ for some content and only as a ‘run-only user’ for other content without having to have separate IDs or log-on multiple times • Full audit trail capture of all actions to configure or manage user rights • Client administrators can access and manage user content and schedules without having to me a MR level administrator • Elimination of Domain Tree limitations for organization and number of content folders • Flexibility of Portal and creating different views
Lessons Learned / Success Stories • For most clients it is a major paradigm shift – they need to move from a extract context to a report context • Move users from a just give the data approach to what is the business question you are trying to answer approach – a move consultative approach to planning the implementation addresses this • The Aha moments • A moment of clarity, the aha moment is a defining moment where you gain real wisdom • Client said “they need to change their processes” based on what they saw in the reports – BI created insight that lead to action • There will always be resistance to change • Need to seek and understand the challenges that the naysayers share and show how your BI solution helps solve them.
