Your approach should fulfill the following requirements:
1) Discuss what benefits could the company realize from using a BI/BA environment.
2) Discuss what challenges your selected organization might encounter in transitioning to the new environment; challenges such as organizational culture, skills, technologies including tools, as examples.
3) Develop a system diagram displaying at a conceptual level, what the BI/BA environment would look like.
4) Make the approach actionable. After reading your paper, the reader should not wonder what steps need to be undertaken to implement this approach.
Your paper should be a minimum of 2 pages in length, not including title and reference pages, and must fully address the assignment requirements.
