Business Discovery - If you have been reading the analyst reports about business intelligence and analytics, you will know that the word "discovery" is being used every day. But what do we mean by data discovery or business discovery? Who is discovering? What are they finding? How are they doing it? And why is it suddenly so important. In this session, Donald Farmer, will explain all ... the history, the current best practices and the exciting future of discovery tools. |

Donald Farmer, who has worked with customers, partners and vendors of all sizes and in many industries, will share some advice on how to build an "analytic organization." How do you structure your team to take advantage of the latest technologies? How do you ensure information is shared effectively and securely without "data hoarding?" How can analytics change your decision making? This should be a useful session not only for technical developers or system administrators, but for anyone interested in the impact of analytics on modern organizations. |
