Program content
Data warehousing and business intelligence initiatives must be implemented in a way that ensures the business demands of the enterprise are met. Data must be efficiently gathered from multiple sources in a variety of formats, and accurately transformed into the data, reports and analyses end users need to make informed and reliable business decisions.
Join Bill Hostmann, Research Director at Gartner, Inc., as he discusses strategies for implementing and sustaining successful business intelligence initiatives. He'll explain why it is critical to understand the business requirements of the enterprise before beginning your implementation, and how you can use these requirements to align and integrate business intelligence within the enterprise to optimize your company's results. He'll also talk about hidden costs, performance traps and learning curves that can trip up your business intelligence efforts unless you anticipate and plan for them.
