The BI/MI Programme is the continuation of the work to foster an ongoing BI capability, with a two year budget for 2019-20 and 2020-21  funded from the Digital Transformation portfolio. The budget is largely committed to funding a dedicated team to produce strategic reporting for HR and Finance.

For each business area datamart , a new project will be created.

DTI049 is the first of a series of agile projects.

DTI049 is running as an agile project to deliver the HR datamart to underpin HR Strategic Reporting.

Separate new projects will be created within the DTI BI/MI programme for Finance , Payroll and eRecruitment.

The DTI049 scope includes the business analysis / user engagement tasks to understand any gaps and limitations  in the existing PPMI (SAP BI Suite universe solution) that constrains current HR strategic reporting now. The ambition is that the new HR Strategic reporting solution will standardise the calculations that underpin HR strategic reporting and move much of the  heaving lifting from the front end BI tools to the backend HR datamart. This should make it easier for MI analysts and BI Tools exports to build new dashboards and reports to answer the important business questions , without each analyst having to locally apply the same complex transformations to raw HR data.
