Microsoft are Sponsoring the BI Butler event 2008
Intelligence Driven Operations, Performance and Risk Management
30 September - 01 October 2008, London

What will be covered?
The deployment of consistent, cross-enterprise BI to address operational reporting, performance management, and decision support, can deliver considerable returns on investment including improved efficiency, cost savings and new business opportunities. These are important outcomes that gain added significance at times of uncertainty and complex macroeconomic conditions that increase operational risks and threats to profitability. Another challenge is to stay on track and adapt to rapidly emerging technology trends that are changing the way that information is managed and used. Butler Group’s 2008 Business Intelligence Symposium will focus on these key issues, and will provide the latest thinking on BI, identify
important market and technology trends, and in doing so create the opportunity to relate these issues to the requirements of your own organisation. Business decision makers, Information Management professionals, managers, and team leaders will find the event stimulating, helping them succeed in achieving organisational objectives. The event is also an excellent forum for airing your questions, whether during the conference and panel debate, or in one-to-one sessions with our analysts. Not least is the opportunity to network with your peers and talk to vendors about their latest products.
This conference and exhibition focuses on use of BI to drive operations, performance and risk management and will cover the following areas:
- Intelligence driven operations.
- The many aspects of Performance Management.
- Enterprise Risk Management.
- Deriving value from analytics.
- BI and new trends in Information Management.
- Gaining business value from text mining.
- Developments in data quality and data integration technologies.
- The role of search and collaboration functionality in BI.
- The convergence of BI with Business Process Management.
- Application of BI to business process monitoring and optimisation.
- Location intelligence.
- The advantages and challenges of gaining a BI capability through Software as a Service.
