Making effective use of information is a central focus of organizations both large and small in our contemporary competitive landscape. Information is an asset to exploit without restrictions on accessing new data and using it to provide better insight on overcoming business challenges.
Information is the most time-consuming, yet critically important component of most corporate projects. For the past few decades, the struggles to centralize and access data have been the center of the universe for information management professionals. Recent advances in data integration and business intelligence methodologies and technologies have broken through some critical, long-standing roadblocks and made it possible for BI projects to achieve rapid business gain. The use of "agile" techniques accelerates BI development, drives collaboration between IT and end users and ultimately conserves and maximizes budget.
This webinar, from a leading, practicing data integration and BI consultant, outlines the modern components of BI information management and helps participants understand how these innovations can be put to work in today's ever more complex IT environment.
You will learn:

  • Data warehousing and analytics are evolving, with changing demands and business requirements
  • How Agile techniques can be utilized to overcome data information management roadblocks to meet the demands
  • The changing role of operational Business Intelligence within the information management architecture
