Educational Webinar
Introduction to Big Data and Business Intelligence
THIS EVENT IS IN THE PAST
Webinar Highlights
Business intelligence and Big data; these terms are bandied about so frequently today that it might seem like everyone except you already understands them. The truth is that these areas are actually not well understood at all even in finance functions where data-based decision making is especially critical. Advances in computing power can now give businesses ways to analyze data that they never could before. With these advances, firms can make decisions about pricing, marketing, new products, and resource allocation more effectively than they have ever been able to in the past.
Major corporations like Kroger are starting to use Business intelligence tools to help determine what products they should advertise to specific customers. General Electric is using BI to more efficiently run its industrial maintenance schedules. Citi is using data to help proactively figure out the maximum interest rates various customers are willing to pay. Business intelligence and Big data are useful in all of these settings and a lot more.
This webinar introduces you to Business Intelligence and gives you the ability to talk intelligently about these tools and what they can do for your organization.
