Make Intelligent Decisions that Drive Business Value
Improving profitability is one of the highest priorities for business managers. The challenge is to identify and analyze profit-making activities by specific dimensions such as customers, products, channels, segments, and business units. Accurate data helps drive continuous profit improvement initiatives by helping businesses understand where and how to improve profitability.
The results can be staggering. Companies that leverage cost analytics
to focus on cost reduction can experience reductions of 3–5%, while those that focus on profitable growth and revenue initiatives can achieve 5–15% improvements. For example, a $4 billion financial services
firm added $600 million in annual profit enhancement by focusing on profitable growth and revenue rather than cost containment.
Longview Profitability Analytics leverages your company’s data to provide powerful insight into revenues, business costs, margins, and operations to help you develop profitable action plans.

Retail industry currently faces a different landscape because of several volatile market dynamics, including demanding consumers, fierce competitors, new entrants and a complex global economy. Traditional growth models are no longer relevant and no longer have returns on investment like they once did.
Customers are now more discerning and demanding but becoming less loyal than before. One company’s customer today is a potential customer for the other tomorrow. For these reasons companies are trying to enhance their product offerings, service levels and pricing models by understanding customer requirements and developing products that are relevant. There is an urgent need for companies to revisit the core aspect of their business and understand that customers make business.
The State of Data Driven Marketing in B2B TechAmanda Roser
In this presentation, we take a look at how today’s most successful B2B tech marketers are leveraging data to identify their addressable market and influence active researchers. Since not all data – and therefore not all data providers – offer the same value, Kevin offers insights on what to look for when investing in pre-purchase data. He then shows you how reliable data can accelerate your ROI from a variety of marketing activities including lead generation, automated nurture, account-based marketing and targeted brand-building initiatives.

Dependable integrated surveillance systems for the physical security of metro...Francesco Flammini
Poster presentation of the paper "Dependable integrated surveillance systems for the physical security of metro railways" at the 2009 Third ACM/IEEE International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC-09)
“Eens de democratie in chaos ineenstuikt, hoop ik dat er een ijzeren fascistische hand is om over te nemen.”
Dit is een uitspraak die een paar jaar terug door een toenmalige NSV-praeses gedaan is. Hoewel de NSV zich beschaafd probeert voor te doen, geeft dit citaat weer waar de NSV echt voor staat. De ideologie van vele NSV’ers is het fascisme. Dit citaat is geen alleenstaand feit.
In 2011 werd bijvoorbeeld een Hongaarse fasciste uitgenodigd aan de Gentse universiteit, en in 2012 werd in Antwerpen Udo Voigt uitgenodigd, de voormalige voorzitter van de Duitse neo-fascistische NPD. Udo Voigt is een negationist, zoals uit het volgende citaat over de holocaust blijkt: “6 miljoen [Joden] kan niet kloppen. Er zijn er in Auschwitz maximum 340.000 omgekomen”. Ook zijn verkiezingsslogan is duidelijk: “gas geven”.
De NPD voert een plat racistisch discours. Witte schapen die een zwart schaap buitenschoppen. Migranten die zakken meeslepen die aan vuilniszakken doen denken, met daarboven de slogan “goede terugreis”. Vooral in gebieden met een hoge werkloosheid en weinig toekomstperspectief scoort de NPD beangstigend hoog.
Maar daar blijft het niet bij. Diverse NSV’ers kijken vol verwachting naar wat er in Griekenland gebeurt. De neoliberale logica heeft er geleid tot een economische crisis en onmenselijke besparingsmaatregen met desatreuze gevolgen: 68% van de bevolking leeft in armoede, de werkloosheid stijgt pijlsnel en staat momenteel op 27%, en zelfs 62% onder jongeren. De Griekse maatschappij valt uit elkaar.
Uit wanhoop steunen meer en meer Grieken de fascisten van Gouden Dageraad, die daarbij de migranten als zondebok gebruiken. Diverse NSV’ers stelden reeds dat ze van fan zijn van Gouden Dageraad. Dit is een voorbeeld dat nagevolgd moet worden wanneer ook hier de crisis verergert.
Gouden Dageraad gebruikt in toenemende mate geweld tegen migranten en andersdenkenden, en is daar bijzonder trots op. Recentlijk publiceerden ze o.a. hun aanval op een festival nabij Athene, waarbij een militie van 40 man stands van migranten vernietigde. Daarna marcheerden ze trots weg en achteraf gaf een parlementair toelichting bij de actie.
De NSV is een verzamelplaats van figuren die het fascisme als model zien. Dit mogen we niet toelaten en daarom betogen we op 7 maart op een vreedzame, geweldloze manier tegen de NSV. Maar om te verhinderen dat het fascisme kan groeien, is het ook nodig de voedingsbodem te bestrijden; het asociale beleid. Daarom betogen we op 7 maart ook voor degelijke jobs, degelijke huisvesting, degelijk onderwijs en degelijke sociale voorzieningen.

XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) & Analytics
Recent MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) mandate for certain class of companies to file their balance sheet and profit & loss statements in XBRL format has now made it necessary for the corporates to understand the XBRL and its advantages and the process of converting their financial statements in the required format.
XBRL stands for eXtensible Business Reporting Language - an language for the electronic communication of business and financial data which provides major benefits in the preparation, analysis and communication of business information and offers cost savings, greater efficiency and improved accuracy and reliability to all those involved in supplying or using financial data; now being put to practical use in a number of countries including India
XBRL stands for eXtensible Business Reporting Language. It is one of a family of "XML" languages which is becoming a standard means of communicating information between businesses and on the internet.
eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is an extended XML, a tagged data (meta-data) which is machine readable and a standard way to communicate business & financial info.
This presentation introduces XBRL & MAIA Intelligence's postXBRL solution with BI for financial reporting.
For the last 20 years, organisations have invested into transformation of the entire financial consolidation process from ERP accounting systems to financial consolidation software in order to improve the way of tackling the challenge of Financial Close & Balance Sheet Consolidation with modern software solutions. Despite these
investments, more than 90 per cent of organisations still rely on spreadsheets to gather information from disparate financial systems and perform variance analysis on financial statements, compiling information from multiple sources. The requirement for transparency in financial statements is non-negotiable, and this starts with the financial close and reporting process. Financial consolidation software solutions have certainly
improved the process, driving organisations towards a more consistent chart of accounts, and supporting the period end processes, such as allocations and inter-company eliminations. However, when looking at the actual activities that finance employees perform each month, it is clear that there are still significant gaps. This article provides a realistic view of the use of technology to improve the financial close and reporting process
and achieve increased quality, accountability, auditability, efficiency and ultimately, regulatory compliance.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

T
his year has been a year of
economic slowdown and reces-
sion. The current scenario is like
cost of operations are escalating, finan-
cial markets have tanked, liquidity crisis
is prevailing, growth demand is at lowest,
sentiments are shaken, uncertainty is felt,
fear factor is visible, inflation growing.
Overall it’s a global meltdown. Everybody
is searching for direction in these uncer-
tain times. It will be stupid to predict how
the economy will move. Enterprises can
surely control how their company will
move. It is possible to grow in economic
recession times. It is possible to insu-
late the impact of downturn to your
company.
Today you don’t have time to introspect
all of the business and you also cannot
ignore even the smallest action in your
company. In the current time where every
action is happening so fast you need tech-
nology solution which do not your waste
time and resource and help you grow.
It’s more important than ever to see what
the data says and indicates. The decision-
making process requires human thinking,
but when supported by technology it gener-
ates far more value in multiples than gut
felt decisions
The business pressures in the recession
times are highest. Efficiency, cost control,
effective decision support, accountabil-
ity, transparency, regulatory compliance,
rapidly changing conditions are some of
the business pressures.
BITechnology helps understanding data
for actionable information. BI makes data
visualisation easy for quick decisions. BI
has the answer for most of the business
pressures.

Trade spend analytics
One can’t spend money like crazy to catch
a few customers. One really has to think
aboutwhichcustomershewantsandwhich
products will carry him through.
- Segmentation and differentiation of
customers is important for trade spend
analytics. It is not about saving cost it is
about getting best possible value on every
penny spent on customer acquisition
- Trade spend efficiency and ffectiveness
- Trade Send Uplift – Sales margin
- Spend by Merchandise Method
- Promotion ROI
- Promotion Over/Under-spend
- Promotion Impact – Cannibalization

- Find which customers are destroying
profits, eating away your earnings
- Incorrect information about customers’
profitability, efforts to grow sales directed
toward customers that are unprofitable.
In reality, earnings will be low even with
growth

Decision-makers can have access to
speedier responses (information) from
data. Companies who can understand
their customers and their suppliers can use
that knowledge to negotiate skillfully, and
use knowledge of their products to reduce
service costs have a big advantage. BI makes
it possible.
Companies can reuse operational data to
one-up the competition with better market-
ing and branding.
With BI, businesses can not only cut back
operations, but they can provide a smart
and powerful analytics in the hands of the
business users across the organisation.
With BI, one can quickly come up with a
single view reporting from disparate data-
sources. Whatever the economic cycle,
there is always a need to reduce cost and
maximize profit.
By understanding business through the
data generated on a daily basis, organisa-
tions are more efficient and better equipped
to re-engineer the company for competitive
edge. With BI they can have better under-
standing of the operations and fine tune the
processes for cost efficiency. By understand-
ing the business better they can re-engineer
it for competitive edge.
With BI, executives can look internally
at their spending patterns to find greater
efficiencies and cost savings. Executives can
overcome the major obstacle of access to
relevant, timely and consistent data with
BI and analytical systems in place.
The sheer quantity of data captured and
analyzed by organisations has grown expo-
nentially, and many of them are unable to
successfully compute extensive data sets in
syncwithaquickeningmarket.Anotherissue
stems from data being broken up into many
disparateITsystems.Notonlydoesthishinder
firms’ ability to get a single point of truth of
its exposure at any given point in time, but it
alsohasanegativeeffectoncustomerservice
– as it’s hard to take a holistic view of a large
enterprise or high-net-worth customer, and
they are demanding that kind of 360-degree
service these days. BI can determine what
to cut, trim and scale back from operations
while, hopefully, minimizing adverse impacts
on the business.
Organisationsinthechannel(traders,deal-
ers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers)
with BI can be well-armed with reporting,
dashboard, KPI, what-if modeling, interac-
tive visualization, and other analytics for
sifting through operational data and identi-
fying promising areas for business optimiza-
tion. Indeed, with BI financial consolidation

ticated tool for determining where to apply
the budget scalpel.
BI offers a wide range of reporting and
analysis interfaces for Precision, providing
insights into business performance across
the company. BI analyzes the effectiveness
of Sale to Customers, Stocks Inventory
Analysis Profitability Analysis, which need
to be continuously monitored controlled
for increased profitability.
Likewise, for supplier relationship
management BI can let companies under-
stand their options for dropping marginal
vendors in favor of those that can offer
preferential pricing. BI delivers similar
optimization benefits across the full range
of business functions.
Clearly, BI is a key asset in the ongoing
business optimization struggle, both in good
times and in bad. There are many BI initia-
tives that can help organisations consoli-
date, spend modestly and tweak existing
processes within fiscal constraints.
Today, companies need to access vital
customer data, including order histories,
delivery information, and pricing histories,
in order to have a competitive value. Those
companies that invest in BI get a competi-
tive edge. It is the action time now. Let’s
act and beat the recession and make our
growth certain with BI technology. n
