Selecting the Right BI Technologies for Your Business Needs

Webinar Abstract

The use of business intelligence (BI) is growing rapidly as companies seek to use the power of business intelligence to help improve business efficiency and look for new business opportunities. BI products are also evolving rapidly to take advantage of advances in software and hardware technologies.

Today's BI products are no longer simply general-purpose tools that are used by business analysts to access a data warehouse containing static and infrequently updated information. BI products can now access a broader set of data sources, support a more diverse audience of business users, and offer a broader set of BI capabilities that may range from simple reporting to BI automation and advanced predictive modeling and analytics.

These products can also now be deployed on a wide variety of devices from PCs to smart phones. This rapidly changing and complex technology environment makes it difficult to select the right BI and data integration solutions for the job. Once size fits all no longer works, and organizations need to expand their generic BI environments with fit-for-purpose solutions that can quickly satisfy their business requirements.
