The Five Use Cases and 15 Critical Capabilities of an Analytics and BI Platform We define and assess product capabilities across the following five use cases: Agile, centralized BI provisioning: Supports an agile IT-enabled workflow, from data to centrally delivered and managed analytic content, using the platform’s self-contained data management capabilities. Decentralized analytics: Supports a workflow from data to self-service analytics, and includes analytics for individual business units and users. Governed data discovery: Supports a workflow from data to self-service analytics to system of record (SOR), IT-managed content with governance, reusability and promotability of user-generated content to certified data and analytics content. OEM or embedded analytics: Supports a workflow from data to embedded BI content in a process or application. Extranet deployment: Supports a workflow similar to agile, centralized BI provisioning for the external customer or, in the pu...
