DESCRIPTION

2011 and beyond will be the era of business intelligence (BI) innovation and growth. No other software segment enjoys the same positive market dynamics of advancing technologies, business innovation, and companies' implementation plans. However, customer needs are changing quickly, and traditional BI technologies will soon face the first signs of market slowdown.

Advanced BI technologies such as text analytics and predictive analytics are pushing into the market. At the same time, new business models like cloud computing (BI SaaS) and mobility are changing customer expectations. BI software and services vendors need to understand the changing dynamics in the consolidating BI market and prepare for future growth in new markets.

Agenda:

• Business intelligence has become the No. 1 application.
• New BI technologies unlock new data for business decisions.
• Pushing advanced analytics into the mainstream.
• BI moves into the cloud.
