Achieving rapid ROI on Business Intelligence: EXECUTIVE BRIEFING

Directors and senior managers of midsize companies have found that providing their management teams with consistent and reliable information has helped to answer three critical business questions:

• How is our organisation doing?
• Why?
• What should we be doing?

With insights drawn from answering these questions, managers can make better, faster decisions to drive greater efficiencies, reduce costs and identify new growth opportunities.

So the key question is - how quickly can my organisation achieve return on investment in a new business intelligence system?

Event Overview
At the EXECUTIVE BRIEFING we will discuss the growing importance of business intelligence and performance management for midsize companies. And we’ll also show how you can gain rapid return on investment with special reference to customer case studies.

In addition, we’ll unveil IBM Cognos Express – breakthrough reporting, analysis and planning for midsize companies.

The agenda includes a key note presentation, software demonstrations, and customer case studies (“Achieving rapid ROI on business intelligence”).

Who should attend?
The Executive Briefing has been designed for directors and senior managers from line-of-business as well as from the IT department.
