Business Analytics Forum

About the Forum

Organizations are beginning to embrace the value that analytics can drive the business to become more efficient and more effective. Management has started associating tangible monetary benefits to analytics.

More than that, many of the financial problems organizations faced over the past several years could have been mediated or avoided if the organizations had used the information available to them at the time. The reality is that many organizations struggle to manage the data they have. The number of startups in the information management market grew tremendously over the past five years, signaling a belief that there is still much value to be derived from the data around us.

Although business intelligence may provide more value to organizations than other technology enabled business initiatives, it is also more challenging to execute. Even if the business intelligence path is very challenging, it also promises large payoffs for those who can succeed.

What are the assumptions about information delivery in organizations, the current state of the market, and where organizations are finding value today?

Key challenges will be discussed but also some lessons that can be drawn from other business innovations.
