The concept of Business Intelligence Competency centre states that we need
to have a centrally managed natural team of highly diverse skills, to enable
business intelligence. Unlike a typical transaction based system, a project
team is formed with the start of the project and dismantled once the project
is accomplished. In case of business intelligence, it’s an ongoing journey
and one needs to maintain a continuity and management of skills and knowledge.
In no other area one needs to have a greater familiarity of the organization
environment as that in managing data and information.
BICC is a permanent organization and it includes representative from business,
IT and Operations. It has people ranging from senior architecture, analysts,
domain experts down to developers and report designers.
