| Business Intelligence projects are driven by two key factors – the summarized information needs of the users and the availability and accessibility of the underlying data. Typical software development cycles are often modified, given the ‘I know what I want only when I see its benefits’ situation that end users often are in.
The Changepond approach for delivering Business Intelligence projects gives multiple rounds of prototyping to ensure that there is clarity in the needs of users early in the development cycle. The subsequent tasks of Extracting, Cleaning, Transforming, Warehousing and presenting the information needed are executed using structured and expertise driven approaches.
