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!
- Requirements Management
- Development Management
- Source Control
- Data Modeling
- Documentation Management
- Test Management
- Continuous Integration (Build Automation)
- Scheduling and System Automation
- Metadata Management
- Data Entry
- Database Platform (DBMS)
- Data Integration (ETL)
- OLAP Platform
- Data Quality
- BI Delivery
- Data Visualization
- Analytics
- Operations Management/Ticketing
I’ll cover each in turn and try to update this post with links to the individual posts as we go.
