Next Generation Business Intelligence Puts the Personal "I" into IT
Industry thought leaders to discuss the end of traditional BI and the emergence of user-driven enterprise analytics.
Somerville, MA (PRWEB) January 24, 2007 -- Experts agree: The first era of business intelligence is over. The next generation of business intelligence is here and it will focus on the business user - putting the personal "I" in "IT" as never before. Today's dynamic business environment requires BI to dramatically evolve and focus on the needs of the user, not on the organization of the data. The business intelligence industry's foremost thinkers are assembling to discuss this "Next Generation Business Intelligence" in a series of webcasts, whitepapers and blogs. The "Next Generation Business Intelligence" series will explore how traditional BI must evolve and the profound impact it will have on business users and IT departments.
The evolution of business intelligence will empower users with unprecedented levels of interaction with data, providing the ability to ask and answer their own questions on demand. By changing the way users experience data and information, next generation business intelligence will facilitate collaboration across time zones, industries and languages. Users will not be constrained by IT driven, static reports of BI yesteryear. The next generation will be characterized by the packaging and broadcasting of analytical work across the enterprise -- allowing every business user to analyze data instantly, find critical insights and make business decisions confidently.
In a series of webcasts, whitepapers and journal articles, a group of the foremost business intelligence experts discuss the successes and shortfalls of traditional BI and identify the technologies and user experiences that will take the enterprise by storm -- making real-time data analysis a reality for business users. Featured experts include Dr. Wolfgang Martin, Dr. Claudia Imhoff, Neil Raden, Stephen Few, Dan Everett and Dr. Ben Schneiderman, with additional speakers yet to be announced.
