BI Tools – 18 Areas to Consider

When the topic of BI tools comes up with a client, the conversation inevitably starts with either the BI delivery tool or the ETL tool…maybe the DBMS.  But unless there are serious issues in these core platforms, I generally find that the real gaps are in one of the other, “forgotten” tool classes.

Here’s the list, ready made for a blog series!

  1. Requirements Management
  2. Development Management
  3. Source Control
  4. Data Modeling
  5. Documentation Management
  6. Test Management
  7. Continuous Integration (Build Automation)
  8. Scheduling and System Automation
  9. Metadata Management
  10. Data Entry
  11. Database Platform (DBMS)
  12. Data Integration (ETL)
  13. OLAP Platform
  14. Data Quality
  15. BI Delivery
  16. Data Visualization
  17. Analytics
  18. Operations Management/Ticketing

I’ll cover each in turn and try to update this post with links to the individual posts as we go.
