Where is the missing Link for BW Success

BW Success has been elusive since its inception. Customer blame SW, SW blames HW, HW and SW Blame vendors and Vendors blame Business. But no one has been able to identify the culprit.

In 2007 BI was the # 2 priority of CEO's this remained until Aug 2008 when Forrester reported that BI had been relegated to the # 5 priority of CEO's. It was not that information was getting any less important but companies continued to invest into Oracle, Informix, SAP and other DW solutions but all they got is lack of BVA (Business Value realization).
BVA is very different from Value Attainment. Value Attainment may be the vendor view of what will bring value to your company - and most companies may have been led astray by this singular investment. What it may end up doing is bringing value to the adviser's.

Anyhow there is a brief article on the missing link and if you like it you can request for the longer version.

See if you agree that the fundamental Value componet is currently missing from BW implementations
