In today's tough economic climate there is pressure on business units in every organisation to show clearly how and where they are creating or adding value. Good decision making and performance management are key to business value generation, but neither are easy. Moreover, the corporate focus on IT costs is often driven by an enterprise-wide mandate to 'do more with less' and growing demands for compliance and governance-led transparency.

Business Intelligence (BI) and Performance Management (PM) are helping organisations of all shapes and sizes to not only ride out the recession, but also to position themselves strongly during the recovery. Smart organisations are turning to BI and PM to gain real-time and predictive business insights; reviewing their existing deployments with a view to increasing benefits; and making new or additional investments in technology to improve organisational performance. Therefore it comes as no surprise that BI and PM continue to top the list of corporate business and IT spending priorities.

But in spite of significant opportunities in supporting the business, there are still obstacles to overcome: unengaged business sponsors; lack of business user involvement; fragmented information silos and governance; BI tool proliferation; poor data quality and skills gaps can lead to low adoption rates amongst end users and unrealised business value.

The 6th Obis Omni Forum will help you to address these obstacles and provide you with the frameworks to ensure that business intelligence, data quality, analytics and performance management become pervasive and sustainable across your organisation.

With a careful balance of strategic and practical, visionary and 'hands-on' sessions, you will be able to draw on the lessons learnt by early adopters and experts, and will leave with proven strategies to help you achieve the promised business benefits of BI and PM.
