Thanks for visiting my blog. As Cofounder and Editorial Director for the BeyeNETWORK, I am privileged to participate in many industry-related activities. These events provide me with a unique insider perspective into the business intelligence ecosystem, its products and the vendors that provide those products. I'll be sharing that invaluable information with you through this blog, which will also be a reflection my business philosophy. And, just to make this interesting, I'll be sure to include my personal point of view on a wide range of topics and share some of the stories of people I meet in my travels.

I recently talked with Scott Staples, one of the co-founders of MindTree and President of the Americas, about the slow adoption of analytics by some companies. We covered a lot of ground in the Q&A, and one of the things we talked about was how companies are benefiting from analytics. Scott explained that while financial services and CPG companies have been using analytics successfully for quite some time, other companies and industries aren't jumping in with both feet. We discussed the reasons for that and also the challenges that companies face as they evolve to analytics-driven organizations. You can read about that and the other things we discussed here
