Claraview Introduces Business Intelligence Competency Center Services

Capitalizing on the promise of business intelligence and analytics

RESTON, Va., Aug. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Claraview, a division of Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC), a strategy and technology consultancy focused exclusively on business intelligence (BI) and analytic solutions, now offers consulting services and solutions to help organizations build a Business Intelligence Competency Center (BICC).  According to Gartner Research (Gartner Market Trends: Business Intelligence, Worldwide, 2011-2014), "An ongoing revolution in information consumption and usability will result in the number of users of BI, analytics and performance management solutions doubling by 2014."(i)

BI has consistently remained a top five spending priority for CIOs, however, companies are still struggling to achieve the full potential of their BI investments.  One reason for this is that organizations do not have the proper alignment of people, processes and technology.  The value of a Claraview-enabled BICC is that it helps propel this alignment by having an integrated focus on driving business decisions through analytics.  A BICC will typically act as a "hub" for BI prioritization, development, implementation, governance and support for BI functions.  This includes architecture and design, data management, BI methodologies, skills, tools, metadata, models, organizational alignment, advanced analytics and data warehouse performance.

Creating a BICC is not a 'one-size that fits all' approach, but a carefully tailored engagement.  Claraview offers consulting services to help assess and analyze a customer's existing BI environment against best practices captured from hundreds of successful BI design and implementation experiences. Claraview consultants then assist the customer in organizing a BICC customized for the needs and priorities of that organization. On a high level, Claraview's BICC consulting services include:

    --  BI Assessment:  Employs a 4-8 week assessment that clearly identifies
        the qualities of a BI environment and how business users are receiving
        value from it
    --  BI Strategy: Delivers a high-level business vision, BI architecture, and
        BI strategic roadmap to help maximize return on present and future BI
        investments
    --  BICC Consulting: Assists in creating the scope, change management,
        roles, processes, and targeted standards, plus rolls out a deployment
        plan for a BICC.  The team also assists with change management and BICC
        staffing, leveraging pragmatic experience and valuable knowledge in data
        migration, data management, BI solution development and analytical
        application support

"Creating a BICC is a maturity milestone for an organization," said Dan Ross, managing partner of Claraview. "A common issue our clients face is the inability to react fast enough to changes in their business with existing BI/Analytics-related processes and standards. Our BICC services expertise can help an organization manage this change in order to become more nimble and efficient in delivering business value to all levels of an organization."

Claraview will showcase its BICC services at the TDWI Business Intelligence Executive Summit on August 7-12, 2011 in San Diego, CA.
