Cloud Business Intelligence Overview

This is then sold to welcome to discourse on cloud business intelligence the big picture in this course will talk what about doing business intelligence in the cloud and what that means in today's world it will on-time coming in the cloud is pretty mature now but the PI world has been falling behind quite a bit so in this course will walk the role different vendor and how did think about it and even some functional playground about how to composters will the conversation talking about why we have business intelligence the first

The Problem

It's what was the problem in the problem I can figure it out is a simple one of questions spending periods so we think about our business there what is different areas to consider sales mark doing IT Justinian feel everyone understand in make good decisions good strategic decisions good operational decisions good tactical decisions at all levels a wider times will need information from other systems were other parts of your organisation and was we have a single system direction encompasses every single aspect of business most vendor's are able to incorporate those outside the sources even within a single processor trademarking we may have five 1015 differences terms that one or crosses in the business here's an example you have rewarded with extra web traffic and weather with eggs we have these pocket winner for marketing as well as social sentiment what people think about with part of inexact unaccompanied actors are one of email marketing in any have salesforce for sales process is was managing marketing campaigns something interesting about these all these are also cloud-based systems to one of other systems are moving into the cloud but BIA has within the electrical the one-on-one stuff is was a lot of cloud-based of 20 the poor although together into a did warehouse so in this example we have these five-day resources on the left in the following to this did warehouse where the dealers all national which conforms structures make sense its clients so California's California Notts yearly LIF gardeners year your new the abbreviation thereof all the dadoes magic together in the we can perform all these fantastic and will exonerate we can run deeper mining other than we can word about our customers and we can project what the future may hold for us make any these decisions

The Challenge

Will the challenge with this is that is really expensive visited warehouses usually hosted with a cluster of servers housemaster immediately to small them Titian but often dozens of servers as well as RBI infrastructure the software used to actually do the error was exactly figure are no is also hosted in it takes a while of set up a lot of time or money those of the trifecta of cost we have people takes time it takes in the money involved from the people standpoint we have lots of different people board we have engineers people actually designing how the systems were working talk to each other you have the administrators be would actually make it run on a day-to-day setting up usurers permission security letter the networking folks directly connect wires to make sure this is talk to each other project managers to make sure everybody else's on schedule when working in an efficient manner and and Yellowstone was often derived doesn't select all this work just them to be to run to queries and questions time is another challenge that we have with time is because it takes 6 to 9 months were traditional beyond project to be delivered and in some cases this can be a big problem think about that the recall is almost of time since the time you request something from the time you give delivered so what your needs Mr looking like players six amendments later and was resources they could be quite different is also Wanna money involved servers themselves can be very expensive storages go cheaper still talking about monotonic data from different systems the water redundancy that adds up an support all these venues require you to have support meanings contracting if you're spending much money on it I probably wouldn't do without it but there is a better way with yourself to think all the different about how you might the court was the same service levels

To the Cloud

That will go to do so would secluded diagram again in is risk losing idea acceptance of having Subarus that we host to maintain revolver networking engineering that several you put that into the cloud and client card a lot of that which takes or trifecta cost time and money and reduces it into something a lot smaller manageable

Case Study Large Internet Company

The ciguatera case study this was a Internet company that I consulted for and whether alternate solution we have five people managing the system took three months to get anything out of which is actually pretty good considering the industry standard of 60 moment and software licensing alone will 150 keep and this company happen use a lot of opens with technology so it still was reducing that we are spending so much money on software just recently Valois assassins of questions of rigid announcement would removing this of the cloud rags able to reduces Delta one FTE for a paltry hearings talk about the importance of that people or the most viable thing in organisation and when you have the ability to reduce demand people takes to do a job highly encourage you to still value them as people adopted them as numbers on a spreadsheet don't managed to the numbers meant to the people in that we did here instead of firing reasonable for people will actually able to dispel produce five times more start which met on what more value to the company from the same team that working together for years it has about two weeks to get something out there all the setup convenience in all that was required largely one-way because the cloud can only wonder for us and the overall cost of the same software hosting a data warehouse in this case was only about five 6000 year huge cost savings all around him are doing it faster in doing it a lot leader, more efficient solar can really be a huge benefit to this

Recap

So to recap request we have our traditional be isolation with pulling data from many different places with attitudinal housing it is always the building is to use it for decision-making in strategic thinking of production the challenges that because a lot of money in its really having it's really intensive but if we think different about it we can use the cloud to a village so deliver the same services and those we did before but a fraction of the cost and every fraction of the time
