The business intelligence mediator

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to provide a positioning of business intelligence in a changing environment and proving its affected aspects. Put within company’s ongoing change process. The study wishes to harmonize the acceptance of a technological change. This is pursued by highlighting (selected) factors that generate an effect on the uncertainty of an adjustment. The study is conducted as to create a low cost as possible to enable businesses to achieve goals and visions straightforward.   This study provides guidelines in how a business intelligence system acts upon ongoing change in an organization. The phenomenon of change will be covered through an in-depth investigation of a company that is in the initiation and implementation phase of a BI system. By understanding the current thoughts and discussions of the personnel - and following how these requests are answered by the investment, a further discussion will be found within organizational change theory. This research gets support from an emergent, inductive and qualitative approach when discovering concepts and key variables that exist at the analyzed company. In this study I will identify factors associated with requests. Conclusively, variables of proactivity, duality, risk management and accesibility were found to be inharmonious factors for change. This realization was made possible through inductive research as well as through prior theory. The business intelligence brings a shared knowledge pool, acting as a great mediator for a firms change process.   Most business’ have an ocean of information. Virtually every organization keeps records of their transactions, customers and products (among many). Nursing all this information and becoming conscious of the data makes the user transmorph and/or advance to a position of command. The user and/or organization with the power is the one succeeding. If a company is able to exactly understand it’s customers, they have the ability to churn the profits better. Creating an ever better change process.
