Risks of Not Performing Step 9


This is not an optional step ”not even if you plan to use an ETL tool. Every BI project team must evaluate the source data and figure out how to improve it, change it, standardize it, and make it more useful before moving it into the BI target databases. A BI project is not like a systems conversion project, where you simply try to move from one technology platform to another while transferring the data as is. A BI project is more like a system redesign or a business process improvement project, where you want to change the data. You cannot afford to move data as is from source to target and then wait for the database to reject a data element for technical reasons. You must plan and design the required changes for business reasons.
