BI is not just a technology or methodology, it is a powerful new management approach that - when done right - can deliver knowledge, efficiency, better decisions, and profit to almost any organization that uses it.

Although it is based on many long-standing industry precepts and best practices, such as UML, it is enough of a departure from traditional IT approaches to require some 'proof of the pudding.' Real-Life MDA is composed of six case studies of real companies using MDA that will furnish that proof.
