Building the Basics Is Key to Launching a Successful BI Program |
 The challenge with governance is significant in many organizations when it comes to rolling out a BI platform especially when it comes to IT resources. BI technology resources almost always fall outside of the core application development structure in many organizations. The BI technology resources build extracts that pull data out of systems owned by another group. That group is often focused on implementing enhancements and releases to their applications that can sometimes take precedent over supporting an extract build to a warehouse. It can, and often does, become a juggling act. |

Business Intelligence in Russia |
 In the times of the former Soviet Union the economy was fully controlled by the government. There was no competition among companies, and their managers were not interested in the optimization of business processes. Therefore, the first users of BI tools in Russia were the branches of multinational corporations whose headquarters were located in countries with a highly developed market economy. |
