Synopsis




Abstract

This IDC study expands IDC's concept of the policy hub, providing greater detail on the steps in the decision-making process. It distinguishes traditional business intelligence, which emphasizes information access and delivery to individuals, from decision-centric business intelligence (DCBI), which supports a collaborative workflow for decision making. Highlighted are the decision-centric activities of a group of vendors that, in a variety of ways, are putting this concept into practice. "Decision process automation enables greater consistency in the way decisions are made," said Henry Morris, group VP for Applications and Information Access at IDC. "This is important not only for competitive reasons, but also increasingly for compliance reasons. Companies must demonstrate that decisions were not arbitrary, but followed established procedures. Hence, they need an auditable record of decisions and a defined decision process. Traditional business intelligence does not address these issues. DCBI is a response to meet these needs."
