Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing have been #1 or #2 on the priority list for CIOs for the last 5 years.Yet for many the reality has not lived up to expectation.

The vast majority of dissatisfaction stems from the gap between what Business expects from BI & DW and what IT thinks that Business expects, and therefore tries to deliver. As a result, BI & DW systems and solutions are often perceived by the business as a necessary evil. Is this fair? Did the Business look to itself before starting the project to see if it understood what it was asking for and was it ready to deal with the change that having more information brings about?

During this event, we will look at both sides of the coin, getting both the Business and IT perspective. We will explore real life examples of successful BI & DW projects and finally outline the first steps to performing a health-check on either an existing or planned BI/DW system.

All attendees will receive a free copy of a White Paper covering "Data Warehousing - Change Management In A Challenging Environment".

This event will start at 9:30 and carry on through to 12:30 followed by a lunch. It will take place at the prestigious 28 Portland Place in London. Registrations are free of charge – please note that spaces are limited so we encourage you to book early.
