There are domains of expertise within information technology where you can proceed down a new avenue without great risk of debacle. Architecting and delivering data warehouse and business
intelligence solutions is not one of them. A top-notch Java or C# developer is not going to bone up on BI at the Barnes & Noble library and successfully architect your solution.
BI solutions are most likely to be successful when they emerge from business consultants, architects, analysts and developers that have worked with the technologies already and have
seen the challenges before. You want your BI team focused on your business problem, not the technology.
Finding great people requires time, skill, a solid testing regimen, and a knack for recognizing technical and
personal matches for a team. The market is flooded with resumes, easy talent-search gimmicks and recruiters, but finding talent is a painstaking process regardless of claims to the
contrary.
