Business Case on Leveraging convergence within IT, to simplify technology management, save costs and automate the delivery of services to business users
The Briefing Room with Colin White and Composite Software
Live Webcast Feb. 26, 2013
The modern business analyst needs data from all over the place: yes, the data warehouse, but also the Web, big data, production systems, as well as via partners and vendors. In fact, the typical analyst spends more than 50% of the time chasing data, which slows delivery of analytic insights and limits the time available for thorough analysis. Some practitioners refer to this conundrum as "the data problem."
Check out the slides from this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Colin White of BI Research as he explains why analytical sandboxes and data hubs can be an analyst's best friend. He'll be briefed by Bob Eve of Composite Software who will discuss his company's mature data virtualization platform, which includes a number of capabilities that help organizations leverage agile analytics. He will discuss why time-to-insight is fast becoming the battle cry of analysis-driven organizations.

When Worlds Collide: Intelligence, Analytics and OperationsInside Analysis
The Briefing Room with Shawn Rogers and Composite Software
Slides from the Live Webcast on May 15, 2012
Everyone wants more data these days, though often for different reasons. Business analysts, data scientists and front-line workers all know the value of having that extra piece of information. The big question remains -- how can all these needs be supported without taxing IT and without breaking the bank? And how can the worlds of traditional Business Intelligence, Big Data Analytics and Transaction Systems combine to improve business outcomes?
In this episode of The Briefing Room, veteran Analyst Shawn Rogers of Enterprise Management Associates explains what is needed to take advantage from today's hybrid data ecosystem. He'll be briefed by Bob Eve of Composite Software who will explain how innovative enterprises are using data virtualization to gain insight across these worlds and doing so with greater agility and lower costs.

Last November, Ergo hosted an event for IT professionals who were anxious to hear about the future of business technology. The event entitled Year Zero offered insights into “new ways of working”.
We call it Year Zero because we believe it’s the start of a new era in business technology. The availability of new technologies, the consumerisation of IT, and the economic downturn, have all fundamentally changed the way we go about IT. Cost and complexity are no longer acceptable. Organisations must now undertake a journey to turn IT into a platform for business innovation.
Understanding the Value of the Cloud - Centare Lunch & Learn - June 2, 2011Eric D. Boyd
Cloud computing is one of the most important shifts in computing since PC/Client-Server from the 90s. In this presentation we will reminisce about the major milestones in computing history, look at where we are now, and dream about what the future will look like with the introduction of the cloud. Next, we will examine the challenges of the traditional data center and dig into the benefits and value provided by leveraging the cloud. Finally, we will discuss how you can identify opportunities in your organization that are a good fit for the cloud and explore strategies for getting started.

Track Keynote for the Enterprise Modernization Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009
Everyone is well aware that we are in tough economic times right now. However, these difficult times also present opportunities for companies that can quickly adapt to these changing conditions. When you look at what inhibits companies from being as agile as they would like, IT is often cited as a problem area. While there can be many root causes, among the most important are (1) a reliance on fragile legacy applications about which companies have a limited understanding, (2) development staff that are not sufficiently productive, and (3) disconnected team infrastructures that inhibit collaboration and traceability. These problems limit your organization's flexibility. They are costing you money. And they tie up resources that could otherwise focus on new business to bring in more revenue. This track will showcase IBM Rational's Enterprise Modernization solutions that enable organizations to: reduce project risk by managing and extracting value from their application portfolio, exploit new technologies to deliver more flexible business solutions, empower new and existing IT staff to build multi-platform applications, increase productivity with a modern software delivery platform, and improve development efficiency and collaboration by unifying multiple teams.

Smart cities | Smarter citizens Vienna - 25 Nov 2014 lrTim Jones
A keynote at the Zero Emission Cities Conference in Vienna focused on shifts in focus of smart cities. Key contrast is made between what is being embedded in city infrastructures to make them more intelligent and efficient vs. how people in cities can use, share and interpret data to make more intelligent decisions.
Talk is split into three parts:
What we say about the future of cities from the first Future Agenda programme in 2010
An overview of some of the key developments and collaborations that have taken place since
Some key questions that we see are being asked about citizen engagement that we will explore in the second future agenda programme in 2015

The Business Data Catalogue provides a method of integrating business data from back-end server applications, such as SAP or Siebel or other line of business applications, into Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, without writing any code. Business Intelligence with Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides a framework for accessing that data, and for providing a toolset for business decision makers to turn the raw data into critical business information.
This presentation is designed to provide the audience with an overview of how BI can be used to create visual dashboards that assemble and display business information from multiple sources (e.g. Excel Services, SQL Reporting) using built-in web parts.
This is a business session and does not cover the technical implementation of BDC.
