• How they fit
• Some examples
• Summary
-
Market Demands
1) Changing expectations around – Aesthetics, – User Interfaces – Interactivity
2) Imagery - moving to expected rather than nice to have
Market expectations / quality benchmarking
• Time is tight, Resources are tight
• Give me the features I need, when I need them
Usability / Fit for use
1) Increased pressure for global offeringsGlobal focus
Market TrendTheme
-

Rising Awareness and Interface Innovation
• Increasing awareness of location services
• “Free” access to on-line tools and locators
– Google Earth
– Yahoo Maps
– MSN
– AOL
• Changing expectations
– Aesthetics
– Interface

Business Intelligence
“Business intelligence is the use of information that enables organisations to best decide, measure, manage and optimise performance to achieve efficiency and financial benefit.”
- Gartner, 2006
-
Business Intelligence
• Basics
– Gathering, storing, analyzing and providing access to data
• Supports mission critical, organisational decision making
• Includes analysis, reporting and querying
– An established AND growing market:
• 9.5% growth through 2010
• Utilised by many organisations already
• A large and important IT investment
-
Key Vendors
• Pure-Play– Business Objects (Crystal Enterprises)– Cognos– MicroStrategy– Hyperion (Brio)
• Composite Providers– Microsoft – SAP– SAS– Oracle (Siebel / PeopleSoft)
-
What is Location Intelligence ?
• Most organisations have a need or could benefit from utilising location in decision making.
Organisations that :-
– Market by geography
• Target marketing, merchandising
– Plan by geography
• Telecom build out, store trade area analysis
– Assign assets by geography
• Assigning services management, law enforcement resources, engineering resources
– Track resources by geography
• Analyze customers sales by sales territories
– Manage services by geography
• Customer Services, financial services, management services
-
What is Location Intelligence ?
• Location Intelligence is the ability to take organizational data and apply location to empower effective decision-making.
MapInfo Enables:
• Location Awareness
• Location Analysis
• Location Action

Impact of Location Intelligence and Business Intelligence
• Many of us have implemented a Business Intelligence solution in our organizations
• In some cases thousands of users within our organizations have access to BI
– Accepted, IT standard for distributing reports and information
• There is now a convergence of Location Intelligence and Business Intelligence
– Powerful / easy way to go expand the use of location throughout the organization
– Powerful and ‘easy’ way to increase the capabilities of an existing business intelligence solution

The Goal
• That it will be a corporate standard to integrate location with business intelligence
– Visualisation
• Every BI user would like to visualise data geographically
– Analysis
• Sophisticated users of BI from organizations with a geographic imperative would like to be able to query BI data geographically
-
Mapinfo’s Location Intelligence Component
• Brings Location Intelligence to the mainstream Business Intelligence user
• Enables more users to visualise critical data geographically
• Enables more users to query critical data using location
• Enable users to access location from within the solutions that are already corporate standards for business intelligence
– No new user interface
• Makes optimum use of existing investmentin Business Intelligence and MapInfo
Allows users to combine and integrate their Business Intelligence data with a mapping environment that brings “Location Intelligence” into the Business Intelligence process to further improve the analysis and decision making capabilities
-
More than just Visualisation
• Geographic Visualisation– A map allows users to see spatial patterns, trends and view
relative performance that are often impossible to see using only reports, charts and graphs.
• Bi-Directional Interaction– The LIC allows higher level analysis by providing the ability
to pass data from a report to a map and from the map to back to the report.
• Spatial Filtering– Geographic filtering enables users to incorporate a spatial
dimension to analyzing and modifying a report to show spatial relationships and clustering trends.
• Enrich BI data – Demographic, location data can be used to enrich and add
value to the core BI data in the Data Warehouse.

A map allows users to see spatial patterns, trends and view relative performance that are often impossible to see using only reports, charts and graphs
Geographic Visualisation
Where are my customers in relation
to my outlets?
(store location not part of BI data)
Where am I selling well ?Where am I losing customers ?
Where are we at risk ?
How are we performing ?
-
BI Directional Integration
The LIC allows higher level analysis by providing the ability to pass data from a report to a map and/or from the map back to the report.
Drill into a ‘region’ to identify which
customers
Drill is performed by BI Layer
-
Spatial Filtering
Incorporate a spatial dimension to analyzing and modifying a report to show spatial relationships and clustering trends. Filters can be applied at BI or LI level.
Use map tools to select customers for mailshot. Pass the selection to BI for filtering. Only the
selected ‘customers’ are displayed in the
‘report’
-
Enrich BI Data
Demographic, location data can be used to enrich and add value to the core BI data in the Data Warehouse.
How will the weather effect my
business ? Which customers are
likely to claim ? What is our exposure?
Where are prospective Retail
Parks or store locations and
what information do we have on
them ?
-
Role of Location: Law Enforcement
• New York Police Department and Department of Justice
– Large enforcement agencies collect volumes of data every day
– Those data need to be rapidly distributed and analyzed to be effective
– BI solutions make that process more streamlined and more effective
– The ability to visualize the data geographically and query it geographically add tremendous value to the ability to access and understand the information
-
Role of Location: Community Health
• Cancer Care of Ontario, Canadian Institute of Health, Center for Medicaid Services
– Healthcare agencies have responsibility to analyze and disseminate utilization data and epidemiological data to internal and public constituents
– Large volumes of data need to be processed and disseminated quickly – BI solution is ideal for that
– Data are naturally geographic in nature
– Ability to see the data on a map and query it geographically adds tremendous value

The Future
“Traditionally business intelligence was just for executives and senior analysts, but many enterprises are extending their BI platform capabilities throughout the organisation to operational workers, managers and, increasingly, customers and business partners.”
- Gartner, 2007
-
Summary
- There is a great deal of convergence between Business Intelligence and Location Intelligence
- Business Intelligence can help location permeate into the enterprise
- A good way to add value to Business Intelligence quickly and easily
- Helps push Location Intelligence up the value chain of enterprise applications

We invite you to Be Location Intelligent.
