In about 6 weeks WiseAnalytics will launch an online community targeted to the needs of small and mid-sized organizations. One of the main goals of the community is to create a centralized access point for information, advice, and collaboration for SMBs implementing or managing their business intelligence environments. Since developer portals and other technical resources abound, this community is targeted towards business users at all levels who are looking for ways to optimize how they interact with technology to make more informed decisions.

Features to be developed over time will include:

1. BI best practices
2. Informative presentations and podcasts
3. Online events
4. Access to advisory services and vendor information
5. Community forums
6. Additional services

Your comments and ideas are important to help us develop the best community possible. In addition, if you’d like to be a beta tester or have early access to the community, please let me know.
