About
Analyze. Predict. Act.
Organizations continue to be challenged in developing their capabilities in information or fact-based decision making. Not only IT professionals but business leaders as well have to overcome numerous information hurdles to improve their organization's decision-making abilities. Taking this leap forward means increased complexity: changing engagement models, skills, roles and cultural shifts, the enhancement of existing technologies as well as the adoption of new ones.
This year's Summit focuses attention around how organizations should continue the journey in maturing their skills, developing their technology portfolio, managing new information sources and instilling new analytical capabilities. The underlying theme of the Summit — Analyze. Predict. Act — shows the progression that needs to be made from purely reporting to an enterprise that values and nurtures information.
