TDWI World Conference Fall November 7-12, 2010

Prerequisite: None

Boris Evelson

No longer just about siloed reporting and analysis and no longer hidden in the back office, business intelligence is slowly but surely becoming pervasive throughout enterprises. Globalization, commoditization, and razor-thin profit margins now elevate business intelligence to the rank of a key corporate asset that enterprises use to compete. However, traditional approaches to business intelligence processes are complex and costly, and the majority of enterprises have not yet achieved a high level of maturity in the discipline. In this session, you will learn:

• Why traditional business intelligence approaches are limited, and why these traditional approaches often hit a wall.
• What next-generation, agile, and self-service processes, best practices, architectures, and technologies will make business intelligence platforms and applications more successful.
• What you can do now to start on the road to successful business intelligence projects.
