What it's about

All companies have data. Those companies that can convert data to information are in a position to gain an advantage over their competitors. By facilitating this conversion process, Business Intelligence can transform almost any organization. So that the organization can be ‘smarter’, more focused and better able to deal with the constantly changing business environment.

Crunched by demands to produce more with less, IT groups are looking for better ways to address users’ information needs. Traditional reports that were acceptable in the past are no longer appropriate for the faster pace of today. Business people are looking for solutions that can empower them with ‘on-the-fly’ data access and flexible analytical capabilities. Put the information into their hands and let them massage it as needed. Business Intelligence solutions not only allow for better allocation of IT resources, but delivers reports that can be easily molded to fit the needs of the situation.

This seminar will help lay out the path for you and your organization to capture the full value of implementing powerful BI solutions using Microsoft Server and Office technologies. Even better, there is a good chance that you already have these tools installed within your company. More than just providing information, the BI solutions described in this seminar might very well not cost anything extra. Now that’s a true win-win solution.

What you will learn

• Use the Microsoft BI tools you probably already have to eliminate much of the standard IT reporting that you do now.
• Empower your business users to explore, analyze and report on data themselves.
• Create more flexible, sustainable, and robust data-driven analysis and performance metrics.
• Furnish developers and users with familiar and intuitive tools.
• Improve analytical productivity in support of deeper business insights and better tactical and strategic decisions.

Who should attend

this seminar will be of interest if it is part of your job description to provide information from data. Your title might include IT Management, data modeling or architecture. Or you could be a manager on the business side of your company, involved with finance, operations, or strategic decisions. In other words, if your job involves the presentation of information, you will not want to miss ObjectSharp’s roundtable discussion on Business Intelligence solutions on the Microsoft platform.
