 24th July - Business Intelligence and Performance Management

Invitation to attend the

The Future of Business Intelligence and Performance Management

Using Microsoft-based Business Intelligence, Performance Management and Reporting solutions, Zap’s customers answer difficult questions like:

- “what product line should I invest in further?”

- “how do my students compare with others?”

- “how is my organisation performing against targets?”

- “how will my plans and budgets change if Scenario A, B, or C occurs?”

In this breakfast seminar, we’ll examine the latest innovations in these technologies that make both operational and strategic decision making easier and more accurate. We’ll look at how enterprises set strategy and communicate it throughout the organisation, supported by key performance indicators that are monitored and reported back to stakeholders. We’ll cover the strategic planning cycle and how to ensure it is automated and adaptive to change. And we’ll look at the technology challenges facing enterprise Business Intelligence, such as servicing employees in remote locations, minimising the IT resources required, and planning for expansion.

 6th July - Enterprise Search Executive Breakfast

How often each day do information workers face this problem?

The information explosion has imposed new performance pressure on “information workers”, who now handle an overwhelming amount of data and often struggle to make sense of what they find.

According to IDC estimates, the expense of not finding the information needed costs an organisation employing 1,000 knowledge workers about AUD$6.4 million per year*.

Given this staggering opportunity cost - and the basic time investment made in people searching for and analysing information - it's only prudent to make the information access and management process as productive as possible.

Getronics invites you to a 30 minute update on some of the exciting innovations in Enterprise Search and Knowledge Management, which address these issues.

Getronics Executive Breakfast Briefing

Time: 7:30 Registration, 8:00 Seated, 9:00 Finish

Venue: Stamford Plaza, Cnr Edward & Margaret Sts, Brisbane

RSVP to: Gina Araiji on 02 9847 7580 or replyqld@getronics.com
