Regardless of company size and business sector, business intelligence (BI) is playing an increasingly pivotal role in business operations. The effective deployment of BI increases efficiency and competitiveness to the point at which BI becomes central to more complex corporate performance management systems by providing up-to-date performance-to-plan analysis. With the advent of on-demand BI solutions, the benefits of business intelligence are now accessible to an even broader market audience.
The annual IDC Business Intelligence Roadshow has established itself as a reputable platform for the exchange of ideas and the sharing of experience of independent experts, industry leaders, IT managers, and business decision makers. While acknowledging different stages of market maturity across the region, the 2008 event is designed to build on the current platform by focusing on the latest trends in BI, such as BI on demand, pervasive BI, enterprise search, unstructured data processing, and text analytics.
At each venue, half-day executive workshops will be held the day after the main event to complement the business and technology perspective with a discourse on the ROI and development of the business case for implementing BI.
IDC's annual Business Intelligence Roadshow will introduce you to, among others, the following industry experts:
