“ My thesis is that driving up the number of BI users increases return (ROI). This is core to our BI vision; more people making more immediate, better informed decisions leads to better companies and organizations. ”

How to Make Ad Hoc BI a Reality for Non-technical Users
Webinar: March 3, 2009
9:00am PT, Noon ET
Usage rates for BI tools have nudged up from 18 percent three years ago to 24 percent today, according to TDWI Research. This abysmally low percentage accounts for most of an organization’s power users and a handful of very determined non-technical users.
What can you do to make BI easier and therefore more pervasive and relevant in your organization? Given the pervasiveness of enterprise search and its ease-of-use, many wonder if search offers a revolutionary new approach to end-user data access.
This Webinar will examine the core technologies at play and show how search-driven information access can make BI accessible and acutely relevant to the remaining 76 percent of employees who have yet to become active users.
You will learn:
- Why BI teams are guilty of fostering low BI adoption rates
- How search-driven analysis can drive rapid adoption of business intelligence within your organization
- What you can do today to empower your non-technical employees via ad hoc BI solutions
