BI consolidation

Why is consolidation an important issue in BI environments?

Stove-piped BI applications have adverse effects on the organization: business and IT strategies become misaligned, operations become increasingly inefficient, service levels become erratic, corporate information becomes inconsistent and often incorrect, and customer satisfaction drops.

HP understands the costs associated with fragmented BI solutions:

• unnecessary system complexity
• high management and maintenance costs
• increased software license fees
• “server sprawl”
• the need to support a growing user base.

HP works with many of today’s forward-looking organizations to consolidate their BI tools/technologies and storage solutions to create simple, easy-to-manage environments that offer a single, consistent, 360-degree view of corporate information.

Benefits of consolidating your BI environment include:

• Simplicity: Enterprise control.
• Value: IT cost advantage.
• Agility: Business responsiveness.
