Filling the Knowledge Gap – Big DATA and Rich Computation
The age of Big DATA - terabytes of information within a company's information systems - has arrived. Companies running ERP, CRM and web solutions have been generating gigabytes of data for years. Add to that the data now available from user generated content, mobile web, social networks, click stream and external data sets, and what was once large gigabytes of information has become large terabytes of information. With all this additional data at your fingertips, the business question becomes, how do we monetize this explosion in data?
Join us for a discussion as to how companies such as Myspace, ShareThis, and SpecificMedia have leveraged this next generation of database technology available from Aster Data Systems and their implementation partner, Analytics8, to access, analyze and provide the insight necessary to monetize the data available to companies today!

Business Intelligence Opportunities for a Down Economy
Many enterprise organizations have launched Business Intelligence projects to help manage their business and guide executive decision making. However, these projects often fail to demonstrate an acceptable return on investment at best, and at worst are viewed by the CFO as candidates for cost cutting. This would be most unfortunate, as BI programs are generating value for organizations. The problem has been a difficulty in identifying, quantifying and communicating the gains.
The good news is that smart IT leaders can prove the value of their firm's business intelligence efforts. In today's call, the listener will learn why this is important, where to start, and how to communicate the value and benefits of Business Intelligence. The listener will learn:
• With prior investments in BI, which best practices are (and are not) adding business value?
• Where does the investment come from, and why does it matter?
• What are the five elements that drive business value from business intelligence investment?
• What does today's smart IT leader need to do to start proving the value of BI? |
