Factors that contribute to the successful implementation of business intelligence and business analytics (BI&A) within the financial sector

Abstract

Several studies show working with business intelligence and analytic (BI&A) technologies in daily business operations lead to better performance. Research also shows about 70% to 80% of organizations fail to implement the BI&A-technology successfully. In a response to this, researchers mapped out CriticalSuccessFactors (CSFs) aiming to increase successful implementations. Yet, the uptake has been minimal because of different causes, such as technical factors, data-quality and user-satisfaction. While investigate this phenomenon, it is noticeable researchers assume a one size fits all solution, but differences between sectors might also be the case. The aim of this study is to compile a framework based on empirically validated CSFs, relevant for successful implementations of BI&A-technologies within the financial sector. To this end, first a systematic literature review is conducted to set up a list of CSFs relevant for an implementation success. After finalizing this list, the CSFs are validated empirically by conducting a single embedded case study in which several semi-structured interviews are held with employees working at a bank within the Netherlands. Ultimately this research provides an empirical validation of eleven CSFs and left two open for further investigation.
