The standardization of BusinessObjects reporting in a corporation

The main theme of the thesis is standardization of BusinessObjects reporting in a corporation. This work is linked in with my bachelor work, which deals with the transformation of manual reporting from MS Excel to Business Intelligence platform in the form of interactive reports. Standardization of reporting and integration of Business Intelligence system in the infrastructure of the company represents further development in the evolution of the reporting in the organization. This work proposes a method for the implementation of BusinessObjects at the Operations department in the GE Money Bank. This work creates a draft of direction for the owner of BusinessObjects and a set of the most valuable experience I gained in this project. This work deals with the standardization of reporting, that should not be underestimated in any case, even though it happens many times. Multiple data sources often exist in huge organizations, data in production databases are not consistent and the company often uses several suppliers of Business Intelligence solutions. Non-standard reporting means risking in the form of inconsistent and chaotic data sets. This thesis can be used as a practical guide to avoid these mistakes and achieve more efficient and faster reporting. The conclusion of the thesis is that the standardization process of reporting is necessary logical step that organizations have to do if they want to set a unified form of reporting throughout the whole company and to increase consistency and clarity of data in reports.
