Abstract

The success of organizations or business networks depends on fast and well-founded decisions taken by the relevant people in their specific area of responsibility. To enable timely and well-founded decisions, it is often necessary to perform ad-hoc analyses in a collaborative manner involving domain experts, line-of-business managers, key suppliers or customers. Current Business Intelligence (BI) solutions fail to meet the challenges of ad-hoc and collaborative decision support, slowing down and hurting organizations. The main goal of our envisioned system, which will be designed and implemented in a future research project, is to realize a highly scalable and flexible platform for collaborative, ad-hoc BI over large data sets. This will be achieved by developing methodologies, concepts and an infrastructure to enable an information self-service for business users and collaborative decision making over high-volume data sources within and across organizations.
