Welcome to the business analytics expert channel for the BeyeNETWORK.

Analytics is truly the next major stage in the business intelligence (BI) evolution, shifting attention from how we deliver information to how we use that information. It is a large, complex field that encompasses statistical analysis, predictive analytics, text and speech analytics, web analytics, visualization, causal analysis and much more. Most importantly, analytics involves people - the business analysts.

I welcome your thoughts, comments and contributions to make this a lively and valuable channel. Please e-mail me at dwells@infocentric.org with your thoughts and ideas.
