Syosset, NY - April 20, 2006 Exploiting market opportunities and responding quickly to threats in today´s business environment demand faster and easier access to information. In order to make better business decisions, you need to integrate and analyze the information that already exists within your organization. To get the right information to the right people at the right time, companies are turning to analysis and discovery methods to solve their most persistent problems, achieve their business goals, and gain and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
But how do these methods give executives a real- time handle on business operations and performance? What kinds of problems can people solve using analysis and discovery? What benefits are achievable with effective analysis and discovery projects? And what infrastructure is needed to support analysis and discovery?
To educate business and technology executives on the benefits and requirements of analysis and discovery, IBM and WatchIT - a leader in on-demand education - have produced a video-based program that answers these questions, discusses proven resources and methods that can be used to implement analysis and discovery projects, and describes lessons learned from skillful implementers of these projects.
In the program, "Gain Insight Through Information Analysis and Discovery," Bill Wagstaff, Director, IBM Business Intelligence Product Strategy and Marketing, explains how analysis and discovery ensures that all relevant information associated with a business problem is made available in the appropriate context. He also gives examples of how these methods are used in banking and retail. Bruce Baumbush, IBM Business Intelligence Strategy Executive, describes practical methods for building an enterprise data warehouse, and identifies specific resources for implementation. For example, he describes how Staples improved decision-making and increased sales by centralizing access to sales data.
The program, approximately 30 minutes in length, is presented in WatchIT´s acclaimed "Knowledge Navigator" platform. This interactive interface includes a full, rich-media presentation, including video, graphics, and animation, as well as value- added educational resources such as Web links, white papers, and a glossary of terms.
