The End of BI as We Know It: A fresh look at what business analytics means for today’s organizations
Type:
On-Demand Webinar
Length:
59:30 Over the past three decades, the notion of business intelligence was born and gained acceptance, but unfortunately morphed into the dreaded BI Platform - something often slow, rigid and used by only a few. What the modern organization - the organization that is fighting for survival today and expects to thrive in the coming years - needs is an injection of intelligence back into their business intelligence solutions.
The focus of this web seminar is to examine the obstacles and solutions both traditional and self-service BI provide, identify key attributes of a successful BI solution, propose best practices for deployment and use, and explore ways you can help your organization take advantage of new BI approaches.
Attend this web seminar and learn about:
- Why speed is the critical factor: fast to deploy, fast to build, fast to get analysts serving themselves, and fast to drive widespread adoption
- How new technologies which will fundamentally change your analytical and business processes
- Why your BI tool must have a bi-modal data access strategy: analyzing data from production databases while also enabling analysis of millions or billions of records with near instant query times
- Why combining multiple data sources wherever they are (from the data warehouse to Excel spreadsheets) on-the-fly is key to powerful insight
- Methods to easily and quickly building dashboards regardless of technical or analytic ability
