There is an old joke about someone proudly announcing that they have doubled their speed, only to realize they are running in the wrong direction. The improvement is measurable.

Outsourced BI vs In-House Business Intelligence Team
As companies become more data-driven, one strategic question appears sooner or later: should Business Intelligence be built internally or outsourced to a specialized provider?

Both models can work successfully, […]
