Business Intelligence challenges

These are the list of challenges faced by BI Teams. Not a comprehensive list, but just the points that are right off the top of my head

• Data quality issues.
• Lack of source applications/systems knowledge.
• Lack of executive sponsorship and continuous support.
• People at the top not having longer term vision.
• BI Tools selection.
• Source system changes without/late communication to BI Teams
• Lack of funding to BI Teams compared to core development teams.
• Silos of BI Teams
• First deliverable (ex - Report) takes time as the foundation (Data Warehouse) is built.
• Inter department politics
• Lack of skilled team members
• Data governance / ownership issues / masterdata management issues
• Lack of Business understanding
• Not giving importance to Datainformability
