What is the most cost effective approach to create a Business Intelligence solution?
Every BI solutions is build from 3 components; people, hardware, software. The most effective solutions are those were you spend as much as possible on people (preferably your own) and were these people spend as less time as possible on setting up “new” hardware and the configuration of software. We have given this thought arms and legs by the development of solutions based on the products of Oracle and Microsoft Excel. Better and extended use of the Database and Excel are often more than enough in over 80% of the business cases!
