20% of small organisations report over 80% penetration of
mobile Business Intelligence

Who will benefit most?What will you mobilise?Here and now? Do the tasks need to be addressed immediately? Small and intangible? Is the information about the tasks easy to digest? Perishable? Does the information lose value if it’s not acted upon right away?
Deploying mobile BI in a fast-changing, heterogeneous mobile device market is challenging. The first step is to acknowledge that you will have to support multiple mobile operating systems and run your BI applications on employee-owned devices. How do you secure and support personal devices that contain a mix of corporate and personal applications?What about the fact that they will need to run on different platforms and versions?IT’s job is to job is to maintain a stable, secure, error-free compute environment. Won’t they just hate BI projects more?
Question to the Audience: why not just show tables?Property Value Mean of x in each case 9 (exact) Variance of x in each case 11 (exact) Mean of y in each case 7.50 (to 2 decimal places) Variance of y in each case 4.122 or 4.127 (to 3 decimal places) Correlation between x and y in each case 0.816 (to 3 decimal places) Linear regression line in each case (to 2 and 3 decimal places, respectively)TL – normal distributionTR – not distributed normally, not linearBL – linear, outlier exerts an influenceBR – non linear, outlier is enough to produce a high correlation coefficient
