BusinessObjects Health Check

If you already have BusinessObjects deployed within your organisation you could take advantage of our Health Check to see if you could improve your use to increase your return on investment (ROI).

The assessment covers all aspects of the implemented solution with advice on how improvements could be made and the benefits that they would bring.
The assessment can be taken as a single programme, or can be split into three sections. These three sections are:

  • Business Perspective Health check
  • Technical Perspective Health check
  • Migration Perspective Health check

This programme analyses your existing business requirements at a high level together with information harvested from your deployment. It delivers a written, physical report detailing the background of your implementation, current usage, opportunities that exists and if migration is being considered, how much effort would be involved in a migration and by whom, any barriers to progress, and some of the likely costs.

The Business Perspective Health check covers:

  • Business Sponsorship
  • Business Need
  • Information Culture
  • IT / IS Relationship
  • How complete is the original BI vision?

The Technical Perspective Health check covers:

  • Connectivity and data access methods
  • Universe review for Best practise and Opportunities from semantic layer enhancements (6.5/XI)
  • Seek out poorly performing queries and reports
  • Review of report usage to exploit best practises in distribution and reporting layout
  • Review of reporting technologies to determine readiness for full web deployment
  • Review of security to ensure compliance and best practise

If Migration is on the table for your business, we can determine the following:

  • The key barriers to a successful migration
  • Best practises for successfully migrating users and content
  • Updating the Business Objects skills of your staff
  • opportunities to exploit new functionality
  • Licensing and conversion opportunities and impact
