Businesses can gain greater value from their BI investment by improving the way in which data flows to the BI system are managed. Many problems result when the ETL process is handled by a patchwork of scripting, custom coding, and various built-in schedulers that are part of existing ETL solutions, because these systems do not provide end-to-end execution, monitoring, and control of the ETL process.

This white paper outlines the issues faced by BI operational staff in maintaining high quality of BI information, and discusses technologies that have the potential to:

• Dramatically raise the reliability and quality of BI
• Improve how BI systems teams use their time and resources to deliver rapid ROI.
• Free resources to focus on answering business questions based on reliable and meaningful data.
