Inaugural address: “To B or not to B, what can I do? by Arun Gupta, Group CIO, K Raheja Group

Business Intelligence means different things to different people. Some global case studies claim 1000+% ROI, while Research analysts claim that 80% of these initiatives fail to deliver. In India, the practice and adoption has been growing by multiples rather than percentage. The discussion based on personal experience is to explore various facets of BI reality in the Indian context and benchmark with global best practices.

14:20 - 14:40 p.m.

Key Note :“BI Technology Perspective” by Venkat Iyer, BI Head, Capgemini

The dimensions of growth - new products, new markets and big acquisitions were put on leash during the global recession of 2009. Fortunately, technology innovation has not stalled in ‘BI & PM’ space, which has undergone extensive advances across the breadth of ‘BI stack. Real-time, Agile, Operational, Cloud and other latest trends in BI. We will explore key trends that are reshaping BI/ IM and discuss the power of ‘information, intelligence & insight’ in helping enterprises leverage BI in their ‘transformation’ journey.

14:40 - 15:10 p.m.

“Instituting BI in Real world” by Anil Khopkar, CIO, Bajaj Auto

The leader shares the heightened challenges faced in today’s business environment and how BI needs to shape-up to these demands. This is a ‘listening to the customer’ session; giving us insights into the expectations from IT functions, consulting organizations and platform providers. This session will also touch upon the real life challenges IT leader faces in terms of securing the buy-in from the business sponsors and increasing the adoption.

15:10 - 15:30 p.m.

“BI Patterns of a Global Enterprise” by Chandu Mukkavalli, BI Leader, Deloitte

In the current digital age where organizations are globally spread, managing and maintaining quality of data is an important challenge to address. This challenge is more significant for Global BI Systems (GBIS) because maintaining the Global Business Rules (GBR) and Local Business Rules (LBR) in the same system will be very difficult. To design the GBIS, this paper presents additional decision parameters to decide the appropriate architecture for GBIS, and to maintain data quality for global and local requirements. This paper presents four different types of organization scenarios and associated architectures which can be implemented within organizations, enabling top management to have actionable intelligence.

15:30 - 16:00 p.m.
