Business Intelligence Agenda

Symposium/ITxpo 2009 is organized according to nine IT leadership roles. Each track includes targeted sessions and networking opportunities to transform your organization's IT strategies.

For Business Intelligence & Information Management Leaders, Symposium/ITxpo 2009 will answer:
  • How do organizations get the most business value out of their business intelligence and information management initiatives? What's the opportunity cost of failing to do so?
  • What are the right set of skills, organizational models and governance required to make BI & IM leaders and initiatives successful?
  • How do you fuse information inside the firewall (i.e., corporate data) with information and applications outside the firewall (e.g., consumer Web applications, social networking applications) to create a manageable and scalable set of innovative tools for my business leaders?
  • How will the consolidation of major vendors with offerings for BI & IM initiatives affect my sourcing of solutions? How viable are the emerging vendors with offerings for these initiatives?

Today’s leadership teams need to adapt to new business models, manage changes in business processes, make knowledge workers more productive, and exploit information as a strategic asset. They will provide the leadership and investment for the content, data, and information management initiatives needed to transform their businesses, or their businesses will be operating in the dark using outdated information, tools, skills, processes, and business models. We’ll identify what needs to be done and how, plus examine the changing vendor landscape.
