Abstract
How do you deliver bridge the worlds of business and technology? How do you harness data for business gain? How do you deliver value fast from BI and analytical initiatives?

Presentation: “Self-Service BI: New Technology Enablers & Hype” by Rick Sherman, Athena IT Solutions, industry analyst
New BI technology such as data visualization, data discovery and BI appliances proclaim the new age of self-service BI. How do you separate the hype from reality? How would you position these technologies with “mainstream” BI? What is the impact on business people? Are these tools appropriate for SBM (small to medium) or just large enterprises? How do these technologies fit with other emerging trends such as cloud, mobile & advanced analytics?
Panel Discussion: “BI implementations: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly”, Moderator: Gary Bernstein, DataSense Solutions
Panel includes industry analysts and BI practitioners as well as
Wayne Eckerson & Rick Sherman
