Mentoring
In-house knowledge without limits
Every successful company that has actively opted to build and maintain a BI platform and empower the organization to make qualified decisions on trustworthy information, has also been faced with the decision on how – and by who – that critical tool is designed and managed. There will have been deliberations on several factors involving infrastructure, cost of operations, and not least, whether to outsource the platform or build an in-house team.
While a decision to build a self-sufficient in-house BI organization has many rewards, including the proximity to the business’ teams and operations, there are inherent advantages to the out-sourcing model which often get overlooked. An in-house team has a unique insight into the needs and expectations of the business, they see and experience the company’s internal ways-of-working first hand every day, and they have the best prerequisite for transforming the business’ ideas into usable tools. But that focused, continuous daily “immersion” in the tasks at hand, also comes with a price. There is rarely the time for – or commitment to – keeping the team appraised of new technologies and methodologies that are evolving in the world outside the company’s own four walls.
This is why Barium Group has created this program, to enable our customers to reap the benefits of both worlds, cultivating the best possible environment for building and maintaining a successful, scalable and professional BI solution – leveraging all the advantages of having an in-house team, without the limitations –gaining the inspirational, educational and technological edge from industry specialists, without the overheads associated with a large full-time external team of consultants and developers.
We will give your Team the knowledge needed to get the most out of our Barium’s framework, guide and support them with tools, templates and methods for executing BI projects professionally, ensuring that you have thorough business solution descriptions ready before development starts, guidance in how to work with large organizations, how to manage scope creep, how to make your documentation GDPR compliant, and just as important, how to stay on track, ensuring that your BI platform continues to evolve in the same direction as your business.
