Start with business process modeling

February 20, 2008 · Filed Under Project Management

Despite the plethora of tools, modeling languages and buzzwords, business process modeling is often misunderstood. It can be a great way to start a business intelligence project, if for no other reason than it brings together the techies from IT, the outside consultants, and the business users. Even if it ends there (not that it should), the exercise can pave the way for smoother requirements gathering, and more importantly, IT has a better understanding of the business context of the requirements.
Kalido has just announced that it will be distributing a business modeling tool for free, as an entry point into their other solutions. This might be worth considering as a fresh approach to bridging the gap between the users that need the BI solution and those who are tasked with designing it.
