Ideaca to Present at TDWI Vancouver Seminar:  Managing Enterprise and Operational Analytics - "Why Business Intelligence Just Became Complicated"

Join us On Feburary 10, 2012 as Ideaca's Business Intelligence (BI) Practice leader Richard Hines presents at the TDWI Vancouver Chapter's February Meeting.  Richard will be speaking on Managing Enterprise and Operational Analytics - "Why Business Intelligence Just Became Complicated" 

Abstract
In the early days of Business Intelligence, the focus was on awareness of the discipline and developing sound approaches and methodologies to ensure success and drive business value.  Now, awareness is not a problem, but proliferation of the concept is.  As more and more operational applications are including Business Intelligence capabilities out-of-the-box, the key concepts originally envisioned for the BI discipline come into question.  In many ways, the original vision for Business Intelligence has both expanded and contracted.  Regardless of whether one believes this to be a positive or negative, it is reality and we now need to ensure that we properly understand  what this means for Business Intelligence initiatives and the future of the discipline in general.  This session will cover:

• How has Business Intelligence become complicated and what does this mean for current initiatives? 
• How can we manage Operational and Enterprise BI initiatives without impacting the business user community? 
• Can we embrace BI-in-a-box and maintain the integrity of one version of the truth? 
• What does the future of BI hold for information integrity and decision making accountability?
