Greetings!

In this, our first Synergy Intelligise e-newsletter for 2009, we are pleased to introduce our first monthly Synergy BI Consultant viewpoint article.  These articles are aimed at drawing your attention to issues and topics that our senior consultants are encountering in their day to day activities as they manage and participate in various BI implementations.

We welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions so we can ensure we provide you with a great, informative connection to 'What's Hot!' in the BI space.
 
Sincerely,

Priscilla Doig

Bridging the Gaps
 
Carl Hochfldon, Snr Consultant, Synergy BI
According to Carl Hochfeldon, Senior Consultant at Synergy BI, many of our larger clients are establishing Business Intelligence Competency Centres (BICC) to accelerate and improve the quality of information available to key people within the organisation. More a grouping of individuals with specific talents and capabilities than a physical 'Centre', the BICC draws together the human resources required for information access, analysis and delivery.

What are your New Year's resolutions? Some of the most popular, traditional resolutions seem to be centered on fitness, learning and balance. For the purpose of this article, those themes apply to the world of business intelligence (BI) managers and leaders.
