Departmental versus Enterprise BI: The Great Debate

Join industry expert Cindi Howson as she weighs in on the debate between departmental and enterprise business intelligence (BI). Departments and business units often prefer to implement their own BI solutions because they can do so faster and with more relevant content than central IT. Central IT, meanwhile, advocates an enterprise approach to business intelligence for economies of scale and a single version of the truth.

Both approaches have their benefits and their pitfalls. Which approach is best for your company and is there an industry best practice?

This webinar, sponsored by eThority, will also highlight how they allow you to combine departmental data with enterprise data – without sacrificing time to value or enterprise class administrative features.

You will learn:

•  Arguments for departmental and enterprise BI
• Disadvantages of departmental and enterprise BI
• Industry trends on which approach works best
• Recommendations for which approach is best for your organization
