Finding Your Way in the Ever-Changing World
of BI
Thomas
Vavra, Research Director, Software, CEMA Region, IDC
CEMA
Any understanding of Business Intelligence as
a solution must begin by understanding it as a constantly
changing realm. BI in any enterprise or organization is a
process that will evolve over time, refocus its efforts, and
incorporate new methods and technologies as needed. Although
market consolidation and acquisitions have reduced the number
of BI providers, the incorporation of new technologies and
processes continues to vex those in search of their own "BI
Roadmap." This presentation brings to light some of the
factors that IDC expects to impact BI development in the
coming years. |

How to Implement Corporate Performance
Management (CPM), Pervasive Business Intelligence and ROI:
Soft and Hard
Shaku
Atre, President, Atre Group
Business
Intelligence is rapidly evolving from traditional BI to
“Pervasive BI (PBI)”. The main concept behind Pervasive BI is
that It delivers the right data with the right depth to the
right people at the right time across the organization, with
analytics, alerts, and feedback mechanisms in place for all.
As a result, the lines between Corporate Performance and
Pervasive BI are blurring. PBI can be used as a very effective
tool for measuring progress against strategic corporate goals
and KPIs that have been set by management and communicated
throughout the organization.
BI is on the move - and a
fast rate. ICT market research firm IDC projects that the
market for BI tools will grow from approximately $3.7 billion
in 2002 to $4.5 billion by 2007.
To stay competitive,
organizations need to consider CPM. Whether in healthcare,
financial services, insurance, retail, manufacturing,
telecommunications, or government, knowing your customers,
partners, vendors, employees, and competitors is crucial to
your success. Without an integrated infrastructure to analyze,
define, profile, and update information as a collaborative
activity, you often have “just too late” identification of
market’s changes.
Shaku Atre will present on CPM and
pervasive BI solutions and how business, marketing, and
technology executives can implement these solutions so that
everyone in the organization can take advantage of them.

Maximize Business Performance with a
Holistic View
Alistair
Seaton, Senior Consultant, Informatica South East
Europe
Today’s information economy is enabled
through data. Data is the lifeblood of any organization, it is
the currency of the modern economy and over the last 10 years
we have seen an explosion of data across the organization. The
traditional organization has large quantities of data held
within operational databases including half of the data held
within unstructured and semi-structured data sources, but less
than a quarter of the information used to make business
decisions comes from these unstructured data sources. As a
result, companies are unable to accurately make decisions and
measure corporate performance. This presentation first
examines the problem of obtaining data from all internal and
external sources and aims to help organizations gain greater
business value from their information assets. |
