ATTENTION ALL BI/DW PROFESSIONALS IN THE NEW YORK CITY TRI-STATE AREA
“The Top 10 Emerging Trends in Business Intelligence, Analytics and Performance Management” is the topic of our next TDWI Chapter Seminar on March 10th in New York City. We are pleased and excited to have with us, as our keynote presenter and facilitator, Mr. Nenshad Bardoliwalla, author, lecturer, renowned social media broadcaster, independent analyst and former executive and visionary at Oracle and SAP. Nenshad will be joined by our case history presenter, Mr. Howard Brathwaite, Vice-President of Business Intelligence at Viacom/MTV.
The beginning of a decade is an appropriate time to investigate and contemplate the impact of the new Business Intelligence (BI) trends and approaches emerging to meet increasingly complex, real-time business needs. Given the massive BI industry consolidation that reached its zenith in 2007, one could certainly have been forgiven for being less than optimistic about the prospects of innovation in this market. However, nothing could be further from the truth, as the BI industry once again proves itself to be remarkably vibrant and fertile, with a surge of innovative offerings springing up in the wake of consolidation:
· Web 2.0-style collaboration
· Mashup reporting
· SaaS BI; Cloud tools; Open source
· In-memory and “big data” management; columnar storage
· Real-time data warehousing; automated operational decision-making
· Predictive analytics; advanced visualization
Who are the vendors and products to watch? Which technologies offer the greatest potential impact for business? On which should we focus our attention and consider pilot investments, and for which is further maturation required? What might my Business Intelligence platform look like three years from now, and how do I prepare myself and my organization, today?
