5. Lack of standards
It’s 2008, the era of the web 2.0 and real time data modeling; most of the companies understand the value of being a data driven organization; yet we have not created standard processes and frameworks to execute the most common tasks of a BI Implementation.
What ETL process should you use? – OLAP, OLTP, In-memory Processing? – How do you represent the data?
