Information Broadcasting - how to organize

Question

Hi,
We have a requirement for information broadcasting for several reports from several countries. In this context we have to make the decision if we:
a) schedule the reports/precalculation centrally by the BW Team or
b) allow each end-user to schedule the precalculation
As a) has the disadvantage, that for the BW team the scheduling of several reports could result in a lot of maintenance effort, we are thinking about to decentralize this activity and allow the end users to schedule the precalculation. But here we see the risk, that b) is somehow uncontrolled and could lead to performance issues if users from the whole world schedule the precalculation at the same time. A second point is the knowledge exchange.
Can you tell us how you organized / customized information broadcasting in your company. How does the best practice look like. Thank you for your feedback!

Answer 1

Hi
In our company, a general BW account is created with relevant roles for each business, so key users from each business unit can create IBs using these general accounts.
However, only we,  business analysts from group IT can schedule the IB which can maintain the control of IB.
