- What: Sponsored by Progress EasyAsk, this event will feature a presentation
by Colin White, founder of BI Research and Dr. Richard Wood, Vice President
of Product Development for the EasyAsk Division of Progress Software.
- Why: The complexity of traditional business intelligence (BI) tools often limits their use to executive dashboards and analyst groups. The result is a backlog of requests to IT and analysts. The data exists, but operational business users often delay decisions while waiting for BI reports that may take days, weeks or even months to obtain. This webcast will discuss how to achieve immediate access to information to meet a company's unique needs and how to drill down to the data, share BI analysis through reports and leverage a company's existing BI tools without additional technology training.
