BI Technology That Enterprises Rely on for Business Agility - Let’s look at the business intelligence and other technology that enterprises rely on for business agility. This is possibly the most important of the slides so if you walk away from this presentation with anything, then it’s the message of this particular slide. What you see here on the vertical axis is the response time of applications. And that’s actually a logarithmic scale so every marker on that scale is actually ten times slower than the one below it. Right at the bottom we have the range of real time response, and the we have less than one tenth of a second, and above that where people interact with a computer you have about from two or three seconds down to one tenth of a second. Above that are transactional systems response ranges. You get out to about fifteen seconds. Above that you get what are really batch processes, and then you go out into minutes, and the next level is another kind of batch level that goes to hours and after that to days. Now, what we’ve drawn on this graph is a number of curves that represent years in history, starting with 1960. You see the curve gradually move in a kind of southeast direction across this graph. Gradually taking in more and more applications in terms of what computing was able to do and the direction of those arrows that are heading south east indicate an area of as yet unrealized applications. Gradually you see this curve eating up all of the potential things to do in the business sense also in a scientific sense I suppose...

BI Trends - One trend is a people trend. When you think about information consumers and the way that people expect to digest, consume, or use information, the expectations of those people are beginning to change as we see the new generation of young people entering the workforce. Their expectations of information access and consumption have been so influenced by social media. This is going to have an impact on how enterprise data is going to be consumed. Part of the impact will be on the user interface of BI tools and on the information delivery methods. There will be less emphasis on the model of logging into a business intelligence application to find out information. They will want it to just “be there.” That might mean embedding that information inside the ERP or CRM application that they always use. It might also mean embedding it in social media applications...
Big Data And The Need For Agile BI - One of the reasons agile BI is more in demand today is in response to increasing data access pressures. Data capture grows exponentially, and business knows there’s gold in that data. Data has grown so much, people use a new term to describe it: big data. Big data, itself, has become one of the hottest topics out there: big data. There are lots of reasons why there is so. There is just so much data out there nowadays, lots of web data and lots of operations machine generated data, lots of information that needs to be processed that people need to understand what's going on and make decisions based on the data. So today we are going to dig into this topic of visual analysis of big data...
Building Dashboards without BI Expertise - And so if we move on to next slide, it gives you the idea of how we have looked at those traditional BI challenges and how we turn them around into product development of the features and the benefits that you can get from our BI software. We have aimed for our software to be as easy as possible to both deploy and install and get set up. You can expect implementation times that are more measured in weeks, it can be as low as two weeks, if you are focused on getting the software up and running. You can have a very usable interactive dashboard built in that kind of timeframe as well. Our software is easy for end-users, whether they be the analysts, who might be specialized in information access...
Business Metrics Software - A good dashboard software application presents business metrics in a format that is simple to understand and easy to process. Dashboards offer a discernable means of rating the health of an organization. These applications are designed to be easy to read and digest. Scorecards similarly allow managers to keep track of what's happening in their business but in a slightly different manner. Scorecards are a more structured, less visual way of tracking data. They are also typically arranged around a single individual's actions rather than the business as a whole...
