« BI, BPM, and SOA: Alphabet Soup that's GOOD for You! | Main | Why BI Needs BPM » June 18, 2007A Hot Time at BI in Action This Week
This week heralds not only the first day of summer, but also a day of sizzling and scintillating discussion on the latest trends in business intelligence. Join us at the BI in Action virtual conference on Wednesday, June 20th, for compelling discussion on BI, BPM, SOA, and all the other ingredients of today's alphabet soup. (Remember what Michael Dortch says -- this alphabet soup is good for you!) The day kicks off with a keynote by noted BI expert Bill Gassman of Gartner, who will talk about the evolution of BI to corporate performance management. Bill will discuss how organizations leverage information for making decisions and improving performance, as well as the cornerstones of a business intelligence and performance management strategy. He will also look out at trends that will shape our BI operations over the coming five years. Bill's talk will be followed up by a second keynote by another noted BI guru, Boris Evelson of Forrester, who will talk about the current state of the BI market, as well as why BI has become so critical to organizations, particularly to the management of structured and unstructured data. Boris will also discuss the challenges very large databases (VLDB) pose to BI, as well as what the futures hold for BI. Finally, the presentations wind up with a panel discussion -- led by ebizQ's Beth Gold-Bernstein -- on how BI fits in with other corporate initiatives such as business process management and service-oriented architecture. Joining Beth in the discussion will be Guy Weismantel of Business Objects, Rob Risany of Savvion, and me! Expect a rousing discussion of how all these ingredients of the alphabet soup fit together, and will nourish our unceasing appetite for more insights and knowledge!
