Successful BI projects are based on good content requirements profiles, which should be developed in a technical concept at the beginning of BI implementation. Due to the sometimes lacking know-how in the companies, it is useful here to draw on conceptual help from outside. There is little time for own staff aside from daily business for BI. Thus, the control and the success of a BI project are at risk. Well-functioning BI project coordination requires interdisciplinary competence between specialist knowledge (above all BI know-how) and leadership in the form of assertiveness, communication and coordination skills.Key benefits of moving to BI solutions include better data integration, a combination of reporting and planning, and more significant flexibility and processing of large volumes of data.
