Overview of Business Intelligence Maturity Models

Irena Hribar Rajterič ; Employment Service of Slovenia

Abstract

Today, companies wish to evaluate and justify their investments into Business Intelligence systems, which requires measurement of their business value and comparison with similar systems in other companies. Maturity models offer an adequate baseline for comparison. Maturity models define levels of definition, efficiency, manageability and measurement of the monitored environment. This paper briefly describes and analyzes six different maturity models that can be used for the maturity of BI systems assessment. An overview and analysis will show that most of the models do not cover the whole area of Business Intelligence, but they rather focus on a specific point of view and/or area of the problem domain. Results show that by using maturity models, only a short period of time is needed in order for one to discover the areas within the company or institution that need special, more intensive attention and work. Namely, results of the analysis often expose problematic areas that could be easily overlooked.
