Information Access! Yes, that is what I am talking about. Have you ever wondered how google works? If so have you also questioned yourself why your BI tool takes 2 minutes to run a report!
If you answered yes, continue reading. Else, Do read still!
Ok. We have Integrated all our company data. We are producing regular operational and analytic report. Has that stopped the business user from coming and asking you for information? Usually no. The reason is BI tools tend to restrict the portal of information through their view and finiding anything is not easy.
The other side of the story is the business user is often not sure what he needs either. So how to give them access for what they themselves are not sure! Well, Like Google! Free form text search queries. And yes, relational databases are not exactly the best places to run them!
So How do we go about that? Introducing Endeca! More on Information access in the next part!
