Pervasive business intelligence: what’s holding us back?

Analyst research and customer anecdote indicates that organisations which implement pervasive business intelligence, where BI tools are deployed widely among their employees, are more productive and profitable than those that restrict BI to the upper echelons of management or certain departments.

BI tools have been available for some 20 years, have matured beyond the early gripes about cost and ease of use, yet they are still not as pervasive in business as they could be. Given the proven advantages, what is holding organisations back?

This web seminar will discuss the benefits of and barriers to pervasive BI deployment, such as the culture of the organisation, the role of the CIO, the relationship between IT and the rest of the business and data quality and data management issues. In a debate that goes right to the heart of using IT to empower employees and flatten traditional hierarchies, our panel of experts will examine the strategies IT leaders can use to help transform their companies into information-centric organisations through pervasive BI.
