Enterprise BI Vendor Demonstration Script

Author(s): Barry Cousins, Tessa Alexander

This template is designed to provide Business Intelligence (BI) vendors with a consistent set of instructions for demonstration, ensuring an objective comparison of product features – all while your organization evaluates ease-of-use, setup, and configuration.

The template is pre-built with eight common scenarios to leverage:

  • Analytics and Reporting
  • Linking to Multiple Data Sources
  • Master Data Management and Data Quality Tools
  • ETL Capabilities
  • Security Role Setup
  • Predictive Modeling
  • Collaborative BI
  • Mobile Capabilities

Vendor demonstrations are essential in order to evaluate BI user experience. Allowing vendors to run the demonstration without your guidance will only highlight their strengths and not their weaknesses. For your BI suite to be successful, you need to ensure the vendor exceeds in the services that fit organizational needs.
