Brief

Definition of Collaborative Business Intelligence

The report defines Collaborative BI as “the merging of Business
Intelligence (BI) and analytical capability, with the tools and
methods used by organizations to collaborate, share knowledge, and
swap perspective on the analysis of business information.”

This definition fits comfortably with Yellowfin’s interpretation of
the term: “Social and Collaborative Business Intelligence (BI), a type
of collaborative decision-making (CDM) software, harnesses the
functions and philosophies of social networking and Web 2.0
technologies, applying them to reporting and analytics at the
enterprise level to facilitate better and faster fact-based decision-
making.”

The research report divides respondent organizations into three
categories based on the maturity of their Collaborative BI rollouts:

* Best-in-Class (Top 20% of aggregate performance scorers)
* Industry Average (Middle 50% of aggregate performance scorers)
* Laggard (Bottom 30% of aggregate performance scorers)

The Best-in-Class are distinguished from Industry Average and Laggard
companies, regarding their use of Collaborative BI, by four main
performance criteria:

Cross-functional collaboration (Percentage of survey respondents who
report “improved” or “substantially improved” rates of information
sharing with other business departments over the previous two years)

External collaboration (Percentage of survey respondents who report
sharing information with business partners external to the
organization – suppliers, customers, etc)

Employee retention (Over previous 12 months)
Customer retention rates (Over previous 12 months)
