Equipping Your BI "Pit Crew" for Success
In auto racing, the unsung heroes in the Pit Crew maintain and manage the race car in real time. They respond quickly and efficiently to all challenges — both expected and unexpected. They anticipate the needs of car and driver prior to each pit stop. They are a team of skilled individuals possessing the specialized tools each needs to accomplish his or her assigned tasks.
To understand just how important teamwork and technology are within an auto racing Pit Crew, you need only watch them at work in this Sport Science video. (Embedded at bottom of page.)
The team of skilled technologists and team leaders who maintain and manage your BI platform are much like a Pit Crew. Your BI Pit Crew plays a crucial role in delivering valuable information to decision makers throughout your organization, with great financial and operational impact. Is your BI Pit Crew equipped and ready for the road ahead? Are they ready to meet the challenges of managing and maintaining your existing BI deployment? Are they ready to migrate efficiently and adopt the current technologies of SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.1? Are they ready for greater mobile use, more self-service options, and greater adoption throughout the enterprise?
