The Analytics Center of Excellence
During the emergence of various business intelligence (BI) tools designed to
display information to line-of-business users, organizations have faced a steep
learning curve for effective implementation and management of these tools.
Implementing BI tools without a clear strategy can lead to challenges such as
ballooning costs, performance issues, and user fatigue from an overload of information.
That’s where the Analytics Center of Excellence (ACE) comes in. An Analytics Center of Excellence is a dedicated team that manages, analyzes, and optimizes your organization’s data-related activity. Understanding how to create and manage an effective Analytics Center of Excellence is essential for leveraging BI tools to their full potential.

Creating an Analytics Center of Excellence
An COE isn’t a segment of your enterprise—it’s the hub that supplies data-driven insights for the entire organization. Creating an Analytics Center of Excellence requires a cultural buy-in, including stakeholders and decision-makers from across multiple areas of your business. It all starts with determining the purpose of having an ACE. What are your goals? It could be improving data-driven decision-making. Or it could be enhancing data quality or governance. Perhaps you want to boost productivity and efficiency. Next, you’ll need to identify personnel with the right skills to handle the various areas of data science to support your organization’s goals. From there, your organization will want to establish clearly defined standards and responsibilities for a focused and effective process. Finally, an COE needs to define clear metrics for measuring success, such as the impact your data-driven decisions have on business performance.
