WHAT: Andy Moore, Publisher of KM World Magazine will host a
webcast featuring Bradley Allen and Susan Feldman titled
"Business Intelligence Made Simple: How Navigation Brings
BI to the Masses."
Many organizations recognize the inherent functional and
business limitations of today's BI and search tools in
terms of inability to combine the big-picture view of the
business with drill downs to the individual transactional
records. In addition, due to the difficult to use nature of
the existing BI solutions, access to such tools are limited
to a few-select and kept away from the "masses". Meanwhile,
the thirst for varied looks into the business continues to
drain major resources within IT delivering more and more
"reports," fighting what seems to be a never ending war.
This webcast will explore the roles that emerging worldwide
web consortium standards RDF/OWL and faceted navigation are
playing to deliver on BI promises long made but yet to be
fulfilled. With navigation, people do not need to guess how
to ask for information they need (like they do with Google)
because relevant content is presented to them to explore.
They immediately get a sense of all the content that is
available on a particular topic. Navigation is the perfect
marriage between the "bird's eye" perspective and "bug's
eye" view.
In this session, executives will learn:
-- How to cost-effectively mine their organizations
for relevant data to make critical business
decisions.
-- How to improve employee productivity and the
quality of decision-making by a significant factor
-- How to avoid additional hidden costs of not
knowing what is lurking behind or outside your
corporate firewall.
