Business Intelligence Competency Centers
What is a BICC?
A BICC unites and promotes BI expertise
Comprised of a working team of IT and business users, a BICC is an organizational structure that groups people with interrelated disciplines, domains of knowledge, experience, and skills to promote expertise throughout the organization and to encourage and standardize BI use.
A BICC builds a path to BI standardization and lower costs
The BICC helps you become self-sufficient in deploying, using, and managing IBM Cognos technologies throughout your entire organization for ubiquitous, unified business intelligence.
“Standardization on IBM Cognos 8 BI coupled with a common, adaptable and repeatable framework in the form of a BICC will both reduce the total cost of ownership and act as a positive catalyst in achieving long-term success in BI implementations,” says Simon Gratton, Director of Business Intelligence at TELUS.
