Overview

Slide 4
What Should a BI Solution Provide?
• Data transparency, allowing drill through from summarized information down to the underlying detail
• A platform for monitoring and enforcing data quality standards
• Resiliency to underlying system change
– As underlying transactional systems change the users of the BI platform are shielded from that change
• Graphical representation of analytics providing immediate understanding of business trends
• A platform for orchestrating the movement of information between systems
• A time sensitive view of information across systems

Slide 9
• Reporting in the complex world of commercial real estate can be characterized as follows:
– Most companies use several dozen Excel spreadsheets to analyze and report data
– Data is typically scattered in multiple and disparate sources
– “Plain vanilla” reports such as Balance Sheets and Income Statements are relatively easy to produce at an aggregate level but more detailed reporting can take weeks to pull together
• The solution
– Find an implementer and vendor who can be relied on to give you what you really need based on true business requirements
– Consider standardizing on a single technology stack
– Make sure your internal resources understand what the vendor is doing
Reporting and Analytics
Slide 10
Building the BI Business Case:
• Quantify Cost Savings
– Interview business users to understand the time it takes to produce the current reporting and analytics within your organization
– Apply an internal hourly rate
• Quantify BI implementation and ongoing costs
– Consulting costs, infrastructure costs, internal costs
– Training costs
• Determine ROI/Payback
• Simple, right?
Building the BI Business Case
Slide 11
• Simple ROI business cases only work in environments where there is a general consensus that BI is an essential part of the overall organizational architecture
– Understanding that a transactional system is not a good basis for a data warehouse
– A system agnostic data and reporting platform is critical to maintaining business operations
– A potential for expanding to additional asset classes to get a true picture of an overall investment portfolio
• The qualitative components behind the BI Business Case are unfortunately the most compelling for implementing an end-to-end infrastructure
Building the BI Business Case – Not so fast
Slide 12
Business Benefit of BI
• Lowers operating costs as a result of eliminating manual process
• Reduces the chance of reporting errors
• Improves the speed and efficiency at which a company can determine specific exposure and risk, improving overall business agility
• Streamlines operations by automating and standardizing the aggregation of information from various entities irrespective of geography, technology or business model
• Establishes an architecture that will support future growth including additional assets in existing entities, new products and new platforms
Slide 13
• Used forever by insurance companies to build risk and premium models
• Takes historical information to predict future trends
• Requires a robust data environment (multidimensional) to be able to support the analysis
• Technical resources must be able to determine the application algorithm to apply to a data set
• Results must be aligned to significant macro indicators – examples:
– Economic environment (inflation, employment, rate of economic growth)
– Regulatory environment
