Creating a modern and adaptable business intelligence (BI) capability is no longer a luxury for most enterprises.  It’s now become a mission-critical investment designed to quickly generate actionable insight from growing volumes of internal and external data.  Simply put, smart organizations use data and BI as a competitive weapon to make better, real-time business decisions for both the top and bottom lines.

But today’s mobile, social and “I need it now” environment and expectations are pushing BI implementations to deliver more, hastened by the sheer volume, velocity and variety of data.  Today’s BI-enabled organizations must not only have traditional BI capabilities for structured data, but must provide expanded capabilities for unstructured (“Big”) data -- and must serve BI to mobile users on any device, anywhere, with secure access to data and reports.  Given all of this, how do you create a framework to meet these expectations?  What strategies are other organizations using for success?  How can you effectively use and leverage technologies like Hadoop and MapReduce for your organization? And how can you leverage their best practices?

Join us for an opportunity to meet and hear from experts, ask questions, and network with peers who face similar challenges.
