North World Drive Lake Buena Vista, FL, 32830 DETAILS: The focus of
this conference is on best practices in the fields of business
intelligence (BI), data warehousing (DW) and corporate performance
management (CPM) to provide organizations with the understanding
that leveraging these technologies means giving end users the
information they need every day. During the "Keynote Panel: Around
the Horn," McKnight and his panel of leading business intelligence
experts from the vendor community will engage in a
never-before-seen format for a panel at a conference for IT
leaders. Modeled after the ESPN show "Around the Horn," the
panelists will explore every major issue in business intelligence
today. Every panelist will answer every question, and McKnight will
try to control the action as he scores the panel on their answers
to questions such as: - What do end-users really want? - What
should IT leaders be worried about today? - What technologies are
underperforming today? The "Best Practices Panel: Analytic
Applications," will focus on specific decision processes within a
business function. Good analytic applications deliver business
relevance and are clearly related to an organization's strategic
business initiatives. McKnight will moderate a panel of industry
leaders to give attendees insight into how other organizations are
leveraging their analytical applications to deliver relevant
business information and decision support. The Peer-to-Peer Working
Groups are informal roundtables where attendees work together with
a small group of enterprise IT professionals to find solutions to
common challenges. McKnight's working group is designed to educate
executives on the benefits of BI, DW and CPM. McKnight's session,
"Architectures and Methodologies: Putting Yours Together," will
explore successful approaches to building business intelligence
systems and how each approach can help attendees with their
demanding users, frightening business deadlines and the existing
architectural conditions. McKnight will help attendees develop an
understanding of the major architectures and methodologies,
including the effects of EAI/EII and BAM for operational reporting.
Guided by McKnight's insight gained through work on over 50 data
warehouse programs, attendees will also be challenged to develop
the guiding architectural and methodological principles appropriate
to their own organization. The Breakfast Roundtables are informal
discussions on topics of the moderators choosing that enable the
presenters to share their own experiences with attendees.
McKnight's roundtable will discuss the topic of Master Data
Management. About Conversion Services International, Inc.
