A tentativ “hypothesis”…

• Pervasive Business Intelligence systems

• Business Intelligence on pervasive systems

Pervasive Business Intelligence

• Ubiquitously available contextual information– To all levels of the organization –

information democracy.– Every employee as an “organization of

one”.– Fine-grained “goals – monitor – reward”

cycle.

BI / GBIS - Grower BI Sytem

• PoD – Traditional BI for SME

• Conditions - SME !– ”Prof.” management (-Trade)

• Often no finansiel, economical or analytical expertice

– Limited ressources • Need to build on excisting systems• Focus is on Internal BI – the company is the context,

but collaborative tools are in strong demand

The grower context

• 1 company = 6 stand-alone applications (excl. MS office)

• 2 distributed app. (excl. email)

• No integration– No KM, no knowledge

sharing– Not even data-recycling

(manual labor)
