NOAD EQM4 Enterprise Change Management

Faced with ever-growing, market-wide pressures, BI teams are seeking solutions to meet the rapidly evolving needs of their businesses while being compliant with regulations. In order to survive in today’s market analysts have stated that companies need to make changes timelier, compelling, and less costly while maintaining security and quality in an increasingly becoming complex environment.

There is still a tendency among some in BI to view development as a single, monolithic stage rather than accepting the fact that development should be managed as a set of distinct, identifiable stages. Working with version control alone, managers are faced with a lack of visibility and management of BI development processes, people and assets; limited regulatory and standards compliance; a slower time to market; increased business disruption due to program defects; and lower returns on investment.

Implementing an enterprise change management solution could mean the difference between success and failure. It will improve BI process management to meet business demands for higher productivity and improved time to market. For example, standards of changes make it possible for multi-developer teams to embrace an ongoing approach to development, greatly reducing errors that can stall a project for weeks. Distributed development capabilities give a team the option to use offshore resources when that is deemed cost-effective. Audit history makes the completion of an audit request possible in an hour instead of weeks.
