About the Topic/ Outline:
Intelligent Business with Business Intelligence
Most Business and Technology decision makers are aware of the notion of
BI (Business Intelligence). Business Intelligence/Business Performance
& Process Management (BI/BPPM) continually appears as one of the top 3
IT priorities when reviewing the major IT researchers and publications
such as Gartner, Forrester, AMR, Aberdeen, CIO Insights, etc. BI/BPPM focused
acquisitions and product releases by Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft are in
the news on a regular basis. However, there’s still much mystery and
confusion as to what BI/BPPM really is and the quantifiable value, if
any, it can bring to organizations. This presentation will help both IT
Professionals and Business Users better understand what BI is about, and
how to create immediate and sustainable business value, impact and
relevance by aligning BI with critical operational and strategic
priorities via the BI Success Model Framework and the BI Maturity
Continuum.
