Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence Summit 2004
by Mike Ferguson, Claudia Imhoff, Colin White, Danilo Poccia, Wolfgang Martin
Description
Information is power, and providing the right information to the right Business user at the right time is a critical component in enabling companies to be competitive and profitable.
Business Intelligence applications and their underlying Data Warehouses have been successful in providing executives and managers with the integrated and quality Business information they need for effective decision making, but many organizations are still not reaping the benefits of their Business Intelligence (BI) and Data Warehouse investment.
Business Intelligence is generated by information producers who often do not know how to leverage Business Intelligence in core Business processes. Also, most Business Intelligence is static and is not being used to manage Business operations, or to drive new Business initiatives.
This conference presents a blueprint for bridging the Business and information technology divide. It discusses how Business Intelligence and Corporate Performance Management technologies and tools can be used to better understand and optimize Business processes to reduce costs and increase profits.
