Facebook: destination naturally forces people to login

and participate. Allows to create own apps, post things

of interest to personal page.

Twitter: real-time, continuous flow of decisions, status

about the business, complex event processing.

Blogs: Users create content and attract followers

allowing the conversation via comments. Information

can be interpreted and informally published to a group.

Klout: meassure and analysis your activity and power

in social medias

Wikis, Google Earth, GeoCommons: Collective

knowledge through a contribution of users is greater

than creator. Enriched information.


Gartner predicts that by 2016, one-third of worldwide mobile consumer marketing will be context-awareness-based


A context-aware application is a piece of

software that examines and reacts to the

user’s changing situation.

It adapts based on inputs such as:

the location where the user is

the proximity of friends and other people

accessible servers and other nearby devices

environmental factors

Making Sense (and Dollars) of Cloud-based BI


The use of cloud-based BI is a “game

changer.”

Cloud computing makes BI affordable and

accessible to those who need to access their

companies’ information.

Business users can access the critical

analytics they need and cloud-based BI offers

better support for information delivered to

dashboards as well as smartphones and tablet

computers.

You no longer called a place, you called a person


The capability to deliver data anytime anywhere.

Data mobility is fast becoming the norm.

The era of the dispersed workforce is upon us.

Increased competitive advantage, employee productivity

and the level of customer service satisfaction.

Three major external factors driving Mobile BI adoption are:

Device maturity, end user expectations and constant

connectivity.

Forget the technology, think about the users! // Manifesto

Everything is changing. How we live, how we work and how we play.

But to understand the future you need to focus on anthropology not

technology. After all, as interesting as it is when things change, the

real magic happens when people do

The lack of adoption is one of the most common signs of failure in delivering tangible results for BI


Self-service BI

An intuitive user interface that allows easily use and navigate the

entire BI application by maintaining a consistent and simple look

and feel throughout.

Functionally rich data analysis capabilities. An application that is

easy to use should not compromise on functionality.

A comprehensive Meta-data layer supports ease of use by

eliminating the need for coding and SQL, users can view and

explore information in simple business language.

Simple and to the Point


Which one allows you to more quickly gauge the

biggest expense - the chart or the data grid?

Good data visualization can provide quicker insight into data without having to perform additional analysis or data interactions.

Can you see the difference between the red and green baloons?

8% of men and 1% of women are colour blind.


What’s the challenge for graph design today?

Computer software has made it very

easy to create graphs, but:

• Without instruction in visual design

for communication

• Too much focus on 3D effects,

lighting, nice background images

• Lack of focus on the main purpose:

To enlighten and inform the reader




Ideas from nature for the most suitable color palettes




Graphical symbols immediately provide context to the data visualization and deliver insight more quickly

Predictive Analytics. The Future of Business Intelligence?


Source: Predictive Analytics: the Future of Business Intelligence Introduction By M. Zaman

Traditional analytical tools analyze

only historical data.

Traditional analytics help gain insight

for what was right and what went

wrong in decision-making.

But then why predictive analytics is

still not in use in daily life?

One cannot change the past, but one can prepare better for the future and

decision makers want to see the predictable future, control it, and take

actions today to attain tomorrow’s goals.


Shortly what we talked about…

Functionality, not technology

Templates, standards and recognition.

What is purpose of dashboard?

Less Visual noice

Predictive Analytics
