San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 14, 2016 -- VizExplorer today announced the availability of the first in a 5-part video series focused on The Era Operational Intelligence (Oi), titled Why You need Operational Intelligence to Compete for the Entertainment Dollar.

“The ability to access data and make decisions quickly as a result of data visualizations provided by the software is what drove me to support bringing on VizExplorer as a technology vendor,” said Decorah.

Filmed on April 6, 2016 on location at VizExplorer customer FireKeepers Casino Hotel property in Battlecreek, Michigan, VizExplorer Founder and CTO Andrew Cardno opened the webinar with a deep dive into Oi. Defining it as the next generation in data-driven decision-making that effectively delivers on the promise of Business Intelligence tools, he shared how VizExplorer software solutions give casino operators the ability to analyze live, fast-changing data and take immediate action.

FireKeepers’ senior executive team, including President and CEO Brian Decorah, VP of Slot Operations Steven Senk and VP of Marketing Jim Wise, then participated in a panel discussion led by Cardno. The discussion centered on the need for operational intelligence, the capabilities provided by VizExplorer software, and the rapid ways in which VizExplorer solutions have helped deliver deeper insights to drive greater efficiency and more effective marketing campaigns.

“From an operational intelligence standpoint, VizExplorer solutions has allowed me to get everybody engaged, talking the same language, using the same tools, so we all achieve the same goal,” said Brian Decorah, President and CEO, FireKeepers Casino Hotel.

With floorViz™ installed, FireKeepers’s Slot Operations team always has the latest reports on coin-in, time on device and occupancy at the ready. “Everybody really appreciates having the data very quickly,” said Steven Senk, VP of Slot Operations, FireKeepers Casino Hotel.

VizExplorer software also aids his team’s understanding of player activity on the slot floor. “I put the player information in there and understand my floor. Not by its biggest denomination, but by what kind of players prefer that game,” Senk added.

VizExplorer’s hostViz™ mobile-enabled player development solution has also been deployed to empower FireKeepers’ casino hosts. “Even our hosts who are not computer savvy have gravitated toward VizExplorer as a lifeline. They’re building their confidence to be their own ‘data person’ which is really empowering,” reports Jim Wise, VP of Player Development, FireKeepers Casino Hotel.

Critical to the operation of any casino is the ability to engage customers, maximize revenues and show savings in the marketing expenses used to promote the property.

“The ability to access data and make decisions quickly as a result of data visualizations provided by the software is what drove me to support bringing on VizExplorer as a technology vendor,” said Decorah.

Despite its recent integration of the VizExplorer solution, FireKeepers is already realizing the benefits of Oi through real-time data visualizations that allow decision makers to take immediate action on data as it’s created, gaining deep, valuable, and otherwise unattainable insights.
