Information drives the engines of the new economy today
and plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining
a competitive advantage for enterprises. Access to data
is increasingly important, as businesses require timely
information to seize opportunities and new market segments
and to react to competition locally, regionally and
globally. The usage of data has penetrated most strategic,
if not, all aspects and operations of organizations,
including customer profiling, customer support, market
research, product profitability and inventory and distribution
analysis.

| What is Business Intelligence? |
| |
|
Business intelligence (BI) is defined as the process
of enhancing data into information and transforming
into knowledge. It represents the applications and technologies
that play a key role in the strategic planning process
of the corporation. These systems allow a company to
gather, store, access and analyze corporate data to
help enterprise users make better business decisions.

Business Intelligence? |

IDC's annual end-user survey continuum 2005, revealed
that more than 50% of the respondents interviewed in
the region said that they have yet to invest in any
BI software. This shows that many organizations in Asia
Pacific have some way to go before they attain optimal
Business Performance Management (BPM).
IDC research shows that the following factors would
be crucial in determining the adoption of BI in enterprises.
- Education and training. Enterprises have to be educated
and trained on how BI can be used as a tool for decision-making
and for meeting other strategic goals of the organization.
- Obtaining management buy-in. As data becomes more
accessible to a larger pool of users, some business
units may be rendered obsolete. As such, management
would have to introduce and educate users on the functionalities
of BI software so as to reap maximum efficiencies
from it.
- Availability of user friendly and industry-specific
BI solutions. This would drive adoption rates if organizations
for different industries are able to integrate BI
with their existing applications.
IDC Asia/Pacific will launch the Business Optimization:
Business Intelligence/Business Performance Management/
Data Warehousing from 3rd August through to the 31st
August across Asia.
At the conference, IDC will address the following topics
and more on Business Intelligence:
- Defining core BI/BPM processes such as financial
& operational planning, consolidation & reporting,
modeling, analysis, and linking KPIs to organizational
strategy
- Utilizing BI/BPM and data warehouses to generate
easily identifiable ROI on existing IT investments
such as ERP & CRM systems
- Defining industry specific organizational
dashboards & scorecards for achieving BI.
- Best practices in BI/BPM across Asia pacific
