"Operational BI - It's Everywhere!" Featuring Claudia Imhoff
Operational BI requires a paradigm shift in the thinking of most BI implementers -- it's not just about using a traditional data warehouse or reporting tools for strategic and tactical decision support. It means capitalizing on real-time data acquisition solutions so that front-line personnel can react faster and smarter to timely events and transactional activities that occur 24x7. Users across a range of industries are already reaping the benefits, either by enhancing their existing data warehouse, ETL, or reporting infrastructures, or by quickly deploying new operational systems with some best practices and best-of-breed products. Claudia Imhoff, President and Founder of Intelligent Solutions, will explain the shift to operational BI and steps to implementation. GoldenGate Software will share several real-world customer stories where real-time data integration solutions are enabling operational BI in both warehousing and reporting environments.
