Abstract:
How effective it would be having the information stored and managed using Business Intelligence in a Cloud Vs Conventional Business Intelligence. Apart from the cost benefits and access to robust runtime environment from a Cloud BI, there are various other issues with respect implementation of Cloud BI. This white paper illustrates and contrasts the Conventional Business Intelligence Vs a Cloud BI. The challenges that are not addressed part of the Cloud BI like even the midst of fear over the loss of Data Control, Security and Privacy and also Cloud poses a problem of BI Architects as scalability would entitle an extra expenditure in hardware and software more complexity for data fungibility and loss in data quality and consistency amongst other critical issues as said above. The other challenges would be in adopting the new skills for implementing BI in a Cloud for the existing BI technology vendors. Also how a Cloud BI would address the existing organizations EAI and EII needs in a supply chain environment. It is more like an effectiveness of implementing any new change and methodology quickly, efficiently and moreover accommodating data volumes on a shared platform. What are the benefits one would get as being operated on a independent platform Vs shared platform and the question of how the above said issues are better handled in a conventional BI process. Case studies are presented to compare and contrast the effective information storage, management, in terms of accessibility and other issues and also on the focus on presentation of the data. This would provide a business case for the existing technology vendors to protest and evaluate to an extent, how all the existing conventional BI platforms cannot be migrated to a Cloud. What are the gaps that are not addressed and leftover of not supporting all the BI solution needs, while migrating to Cloud BI.
