Preventive BI -
SAP BusinessObjects Monitoring, Auditing, Storage
Preventive BI is a very large category, because SAP BusinessObjects is a complex system. Achieving visibility of system operations and functions is a challenging proposition. APOS well managed BI solutions can provide this system visibility, providing deep system knowledge through SAP BusinessObjects monitoring, auditing and storage capabilities.
To achieve the preventive BI level of the APOS capability maturity model, you have to start actively resolving issues before they become problems for your information consumers. To do this, you need deep knowledge of your BI platform — its infrastructure, processes, and services. Actionable information leads to informed action.
The preventive aspect is about making sure that, once fixed, your administrative processes stay fixed. To achieve this, you need to empower your BI technologists with deep knowledge of the system. This knowledge will allow them to resolve issues and solve problems before they become issues and problems for your information consumers. To achieve advanced business intelligence, your BI technologists need advanced intelligence on your BI system.
