Business Systems Analysis III - Discovering, Analyzing & Specifying Business Intelligence Information Requirements

Inteq BSA III.JPG

An Intensive 1-Day Instructor Led Training Program

Business Systems Analysis I focused on analyzing transactional oriented business rules that define “how” an organization operates.

Business Systems Analysis II focused on analyzing data oriented business rules that define “what” an organization is about.

Business Systems Analysis III focuses on analyzing the information that an organization needs to know (aka Business Intelligence) to operate efficiently, effectively and competitively.

Why this training program is important to you and to your organization

Customer requirements, sophisticated competition, product line innovation, rapidly changing business processes and increased demands for efficiency has transformed the need for business intelligence (BI) information from "nice to have" to mission critical.

Decision makers - at all levels of an organization – require rapid access to accurate business intelligence information to rapidly make intelligent, knowledge based tactical and strategic decisions.

Many organizations often view business intelligence information requirements analysis from a technical perspective - “we need to design and build a data warehouse or knowledge management solution.”

Effective business intelligence and knowledge management solutions, however, require requirements that reflect a business perspective - “what are the business questions do we need to answer.”

This training program is not about designing and building data warehouses, data marts or knowledge management solutions. This training program is about learning to ask the right kinds of business questions from a business perspective.

You will learn to:

• Identify, analyze and validate the right “business questions” that decision makers need answer to support intelligent knowledge based tactical and strategic decision making.
• Specify clear, concise, unambiguous BI information requirements that enable the design of effective BI solutions.
• Understand key enablers (reports, metrics, queries, etc.) for delivering business intelligence information.
