Boston: Business-Driven BI
Business-driven BI is a critical element to successful, business-value-driven projects in this new economic environment. The Achilles’ heel of our industry has been the lack of true partnership between business and IT. Both sides have provided lip service to this partnership over the years, but very few have truly committed to it with structural changes that break apart the organizational silos we all live in. The only way we will succeed in advancing our businesses is by creating a more agile BI organization that has business users and IT professionals working side by side on the same team and under the direction of one executive sponsor. The winners will be those who can lead the change and growth of their organizations to maximize the people, processes, and technology across the enterprise.
Keynotes
Each TDWI World Conference will have two keynote addresses: the opening keynote on Monday and the closing keynote on Thursday. The opening keynote is designed to offer a big-picture perspective that will drive the conference theme. The closing keynote offers a more practical or “how-to” look at moving forward with the conference theme.

The Sheraton Boston Hotel, located in the heart of the historic and fashionable Back Bay neighborhood, will serve as the official headquarters hotel for TDWI's World Conference.
