Ian Nicholson’s analysis of why business intelligence applications aren’t used equally applies to topic maps and topic map applications.

From: Ten Reasons Your Users Won’t Use Your Business Intelligence Solution.

  • Project Stalled or Went Over Deadline/Budget
  • The Numbers Cannot Be Trusted
  • Reports Take Too Long To Run
  • Requirements Have Changed Since The Project Began
  • The World Has Moved On After Delivery
  • Inadequate Training
  • Delivery Did Not Meet User Expectations
  • Your BI Solution is Not Available to Everyone
  • Reports Too Static – No Self-Serve Reporting
  • Users Simply Won’t Give Up Excel or Whatever It Is They Use

Ian also offers possible solutions to these issues.

Questions:

Do any of the issues sound familiar?

Do the solutions sound viable in a topic maps context?
