HUR DATALAGRING KAN MÖJLIGGÖRA OCH BEGRÄNSA VÄRDESKAPANDE MED BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

Sammanfattning: Organizations depend on IT for the successful completion of many organizationalactivities. In this paper, we aim to contribute to the research field and the awareness of the opportunities and limitations data storage puts on value creation with Business Intelligence. Thus, the research question asked in this thesis is: Which opportunities and limitations does data storage put on the value creation with Business Intelligence? A case study was conducted on an IT-organization along with two expert interviews in order to answer the research question. Semi-structured interviews were held with developers and an IT-architect of the IT-organization. We conclude that there might be situations where data storage affects BI-systems, but there are factors such as BI-maturity, time and budget that play a big part in how the value that an IT-organization aim to create can be realized. We identified that a migration to a graph database could be applied to the IT-organization for a more effective and optimized value creation through the BI-system. This due to the advantages with graph databases in relation to the type of data that the IT-organization is working with.
