Who Are Business Authors?
• Typically the Business Author is an analyst or subject matter expert that regularly needs access to enterprise data
• Business Authors are generally technically capable, but not necessarily technicians
• Their focus is to derive insight from data in order to support critical business analysis • Understand what happened, why it happened, and how to do
things better the next time
• Often times the skills required to extract the data are limited to IT team members, but…
• The demand for that data continues to grow
