The intense appetite for meaningful right-time
information at companies of all sizes now demands that
business intelligence (BI) mature from organizational
and departmental point solutions to enterprise assets.
Enterprise demands, coupled with constrained IT budgets,
further necessitate that BI information management (IM)
align with legacy enterprise information management (EIM)
services. As more is expected from BI services,
enterprises must also change how they govern the
processes that define, maintain and distribute that
information. 2007
