Description:

Information & Knowledge Management (I&KM) professionals are trying to provide users with additional self-service BI options, thereby enhancing user productivity, accelerating delivery of actionable intelligence, and reducing the development burden on overstretched IT staff in a tight economy. Mashups are an approach that puts the BI power in non-technical users' hands, helping them build personalized, context-rich, role-tailored, ad-hoc views of disparate data and explore information in greater depth. This teleconference discusses the growing adoption of mashup approaches in BI environments, leveraging interactive Web 2.0 technologies — such as AJAX, blogs, wikis, and social networking — to power the users' BI experience. It details the various ways that mashup-style self-service can help users cut or control costs in their BI budgets.

Agenda:

• What do mashups have to do with BI?
• What are the principal applications and benefits of mashup-style BI?
• What are the main approaches for mashup-style BI that leverage and extend existing investments?
• What are some representative case studies of mashup style in the real world?
• What are mashup BI best practices and recommendation for I&KM pros?
