Highlights

Meeting the information needs of the business community is challenging for most IT support organizations because the requirements are often changing. As individuals learn the features and functionality of their BI application as well as the content and business rules of the information, they frequently ask for new data sets and capabilities. From the business needs and technical support perspectives, self-service BI is the ultimate goal. In this roundtable, we addressed the following items:

What is Self-Service BI?
What is the value of Self-Service BI?
What infrastructure is needed to support a Self-Service BI environment?
How can your organization evolve towards Self-Service BI?
