This is the second Webcast in the four-part 2009 Supply Chain Excellence Series, which examines emerging supply chain strategies and technologies for manufacturers.
Learning Objectives
To succeed in any market, organizations must back their strategies with careful planning based on sound analytics. In-database analytics will help you establish a cost-effective approach to gaining insights from your warranty data while spending less time and effort.
Join us for this Webcast to find out how you can integrate business analytics within a data warehouse environment. You learn how to:
- Improve business performance with a broader use of operational data and analytics.
- Streamline analytic data preparation by providing analysts with prebuilt and reusable analytical data to reduce the cost, time and effort needed to integrate and analyze your data.
- Improve labor-intensive processes and reduce data movement and redundancy. Gain these efficiencies with features like a purpose-built analytical platform with workload management and computation capabilities for analyzing ever-growing volumes of data.
- Empower your staff to spend less time managing data and more time analyzing it for new insights.
- Provide analysts a centralized, shared system that allows them to maintain analytic data, import external data and query across the entire data warehouse.
