    Sharon Tan Sharon Tan
Senior Market Analyst, Asia/Pacific Enterprises Applications Research, IDC Asia/Pacific
    “It’s not the strongest of (the species) that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” How does Charles Darwin’s insight translate into today’s ever flattening world? How can Business Intelligence (BI) and Business Performance Management/ Financial Analytics (BPM) help enterprises survive in an increasingly competitive world of rapid change? This session provides IDC’s latest insights on the real purpose of BI/ BPM and IDC’s outlook on the next wave of BI.

  9:45 am Business Intelligence 2.0 - 5 Major revolutions facing BI
    Frederic Moraillon Frederic Moraillon
Vice President, Marketing - Asia Pacific/Japan, Business Objects Asia Pacific
    Business Intelligence will go through fundamental transformations in the coming years. And a new era for BI will start. That is what we are calling BI 2.0.BI 1.0 has provided fundamental benefits to corporations, enabling them to have a much better handle on their business and its performance. But the Business Intelligence industry is far from being mature. It has multitude of avenues to develop, and it will provide opportunities for its adopters in a much larger scale in the future. In this session we will talk through what we see as the 5 fundamental revolutions that will be taking place in Business Intelligence over the coming years and highlight some examples of how this is already starting to emerge.

  10.15 am Next generation decision making tools for the CFO
    Richard Buettner Richard Buettner
Senior Product Marketing Manager, MIS Products, Systems Union Limited
   

The role of the CFO has undergone significant and dramatic change in the last decade. Businesses have had to grapple with a range of developments in the economic and regulatory environments since the late 1990s, driving the need to:

  • Embrace a plethora of corporate governance & compliance regulations
  • Seek out greater business efficiency gains
  • Respond to strong pressure to perform and deliver greater strategic value to business
  • Improve visibility of business performance
  • Regardless of systems or structure, take ownership for one auditable version of the truth regarding the business and its fiscal position

How does the CEO benefit from working with decision making tools

  • Faster and more accurate planning, budgeting and forecasting cycles
  • Information from disparate sources is integrated into one financial framework
  • Decisions made are all auditable
  • Cost savings from more streamlined business processes
  • Rapid speed of deployment, adoption and high return on investment

  10:45 am Coffee Break

  11:10 am Chairperson's Remarks

  11:15 am Enterprise Data Clarity
    Veera Narayanaswamy Veera Narayanaswamy
Vice President & Global Practice Head, Data Warehousing & Business Intelligence, Cognizant
   

Across the globe we are seeing a paradigm shift among organizations from being 'BI averse' to being 'BI aware'. Data originates, traverses and finds it way through multiple data warehouses and data marts, due to which users often lack the clarity on its origin and reliability. This "Information Myopia" leads to indecisiveness and loss of business confidence. What organizations fail to see is the lack of an aspect most critical to robust data governance and this is "Enterprise Data Clarity™ (EDC)" Built on five core tenets of Data Quality & Integrity, Metadata management, Information & Master data management and Enterprise Data Integration, EDC is aimed at bringing about a culture of transparency and accountability thereby creating a more decisive organization.From a business perspective, EDC enables increased adoption of BI and therefore enhanced ROI and from IT's perspective there is operational streamlining built through proactive collaborative discovery of issues.And more tangibly, there is reduced Total Cost of Ownership by BI realization topped with the guaranteed success of Data Quality initiatives.
