The blog will serve members of the data and analytic community who want to:  choose frameworks, approaches, products and services that help them to succeed; be recognized as knowledgeable experts in the field; avoid expensive mistakes; and save time by following effective practices.  We will not provide a sales pitch on products.  Instead we will provide solid information from proven experts.
Another area we can help is in establishing a successful data and analytics program which may include: determining the objectives of the effort; assessing the maturity of the capability; developing strategies and roadmaps; making the business case; creating architectures; and building a BIA Center of Excellence. In support of these activities we will describe fast track approach that produce an effective outcome; save time and mitigate risk when tailored to your organization’s specific needs.
