    Without a doubt, you have invested in the last few years in IT Solutions for Reporting, Planning and Data . In many companies, there are already multiple Business Intelligence Systems in use. Now how do you achieve the required ROI on these investments? What is easier for employees to use than the already installed and trusted tools available to surface Business Intelligence, namely Excel, instead of expensive tools that require intensive training and expensive maintenance? And what benefits would your organization reap if consolidated data is present in a performant and inexpensive database, like SQL Server 2008? Just imagine the benefits!

     

    At the Microsoft-Conference for Decision Makers, you can expect the newest information about BI Platforms and practical presentations in 2 tracks. Let yourself be informed by us about current solutions surrounding Monitoring, Analysis, Data Warehousing, Reporting and Data Mining, and at the same time, exchange ideas with colleagues; Local and International Experts, and Austrian Bi Solution partners. See how some CFO’s and CIO’s from customers present their current solutions surrounding Business Intelligence.
