New BI user adoption white papers available

January 2011: We have added a new section on our website called Resources. In there you will find interesting materials about the BI market and DataWarehouse Explorer products. As a start we have created three new white papers in this section:

Most BI systems never get into the user's system

This white paper signals the issue that many BI applications suffer from low user adoption and the consequences that has for the return on investment of the money spent on the implementation of BI technologies.

Why knowledge workers don't dig BI data

In this white paper we explain why managers and other information workers are not encouraged to use the information in corporate datawarehouses and in data marts to increase the quality of their decision making.

BI user adoption: make it easy

This white paper explains the importance of ease-of-use for the adoption of BI systems and how you can increase the number of people in your organization who use corporate data to make better decisions.

Check out these free new resources here.
