In an unfavorable economic situation, with stalled demand and limited access to credit, companies are looking for ways to cut costs. One of the typical steps is to reconsider, temporarily halt, or indefinitely postpone major IT projects. However, scrapping an implementation, development, or upgrade of a business intelligence (BI) system might prove to be a wrong decision because of the economic situation. BI can prove to be a key to success, enabling a company to use its valuable information to gain a competitive advantage.
IDC's annual Business Intelligence Roadshows bring together independent experts, analysts, industry leaders, and end-users to discuss latest trends, exchange experiences, share best practices, and look for ways to face the adverse impact of the global economic crisis using existing and emerging technologies.
IDC Business Intelligence Roadshow 2009 will focus on the following key topics:
Pervasive BI
BI as a service
Data Warehousing in the cloud
Open-source BI
