Cleaning Up the BI Mess: A Roadmap to Effective Reporting Governance

Marius Moscovici

Metric Insights, CEO

When it comes to BI Governance, everyone talks a good game, but very few deliver the goods. Instead, most organizations present their users with reporting systems that are littered with obsolete, duplicative, and unused reports. BI analysts waste countless hours building reports that overlap with existing content, and everyone becomes frustrated by the lack of BI usage due to ineffective reporting governance. In this webinar, we will present a roadmap for cleaning up this mess to create an effectively governed reporting ecosystem. You will learn:

1. Why most governance efforts are half-measures, doomed to failure
2. The key steps to cleaning up your BI Environment
3. Example ways to govern your reporting portfolio:

• Identifying report duplicates
• Removing obsolete and overlapping reporting
• Publishing clean reporting in a catalog enriched with metadata
• Alerting report creators when they create new reports that appear to duplicate existing reporting
