I remember BI projects from the 70ths and 80ths which were conducted not thanks to the IT dep, but in spite off. And they had their - serious -problems too, but they were user driven and user owned. Maybe just maybe when in the 90ths it became a good thing to have a data warehouse and IT got BI in his grip things changed?? After all do'nt forget BI is maybe good for as little as 5% of the IT spendings of a big company and than it is difficult to acknowledge that it might be a specialism in its own right with different "laws" to obey compared to the big transactional systems which are at the heart of an IT shop yeah spot on, but nothing new: the same reasons for failure were identified probably some 10-15 years ago.
