 " Business Intelligence in the Mobile World "
By Dr. Rado Kotorov
Executive Director of Strategic Product Management at Information Builders

 

 

Abstract:
Given the rapid adoption of smart phones and tablets and the increasing pressure on business people to make fast fact-based decisions on the go, it is important to formulate a robust enterprise strategy for enabling mobile BI.  As with any new technology, there are many possibilities and, naturally, controversy about best practices and products are frequently fueled by vendor hype to grab market share.  This session is intended to provide some clarity on how to approach a mobile BI initiative, the key technologies and development paradigms, and use cases with high ROI.

11:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
