BI Battle: Centralized Control vs. Decentralized Agility
summary
Presents four BI organization types—full centralization, hybrid centralization, hybrid decentralization, and full decentralization—and evaluates them against three success factors: solution quality (business context and technological expertise), delivery speed (including resource flexibility), and cost control (prevent redundancy and license sprawl). Gives concrete trade-offs by company size: small companies keep centralized teams; medium favor hybrid centralization; very large firms move toward hybrid decentralization but must enforce governance, tighten infrastructure control, and set redundancy-prevention measures to avoid exploding costs.
