Welcome to my BeyeNETWORK expert channel that will focus on reengineering healthcare using IT. The immediate catalyst for this contribution to healthcare information technology (HIT) is the challenge we as individuals and as a nation are facing in getting a healthcare system that works for everyone. Here the focus will be on "system" where business intelligence is a key part of the infrastructure that will contribute to transformation. Granted that many things might be considered broken - e.g., millions of people without access to affordable, high quality healthcare - but this channel will resist the temptation to try to "fix" things. "Fixing" keeps the conversation in the thrall of the past whereas the intention here is to create new, future-oriented possibilities. This channel is guided by the principle that a single fact is worth a thousand opinions. But facts are not isolated absolutes. Business intelligence, IT governance, and system building are critical paths to the formation of facts. We will be particularly interested in case histories, success stories, and cautionary tales of what works and what doesn't work in reengineering healthcare using IT. I will also look at related business intelligence issues that go beyond healthcare IT. So let me hear from you and HIT me with your best shot at LAgosta@UChicago.edu. more >
I'm honored to be one of the BeyeNETWORK's channel experts as the resident guru on Customer Analytics & Insight. Our channel will focus on how organizations "capture, manage, analyze and apply actionable customer analytics and insight to improve
performance and to accelerate growth."
Numerous blue-chip companies inclusive of Walmart, American Express, Coca-Cola, Staples, Best Buy, Harrah's Entertainment, Procter & Gamble, Toyota, Hilton International, AOL, IBM and Oracle are among those that believe leveraging business and consumer data is necessary to compete in today's economy. What used to provide a "secret sauce" or competitive advantage to companies savvy enough to exploit the value of customer data within their own proprietary databases has now become necessary to remain competitive in this economically uncertain and commodity-driven global marketplace.
Stay tuned to our channel and learn how you can leverage customer analytics to create actionable customer insight to boost your organization's profitability and performance.
We will share our research, insights and assess multiple technology, application, service and implementation choices and options available to facilitate integration and creation of a successful customer ecosystem.

Welcome to my BeyeNetwork expert channel on location intelligence, where we share and collaborate on the use of geospatial technologies to help organizations make better decisions about the use or conservation of resources in support of strategic and operational decision making. The focus of this channel is not on the technology but rather on the effective use of the technology by commercial and non-commercial organizations worldwide. That said, we will provide an overview of the technology and associated content needed to implement location intelligence in your organization from a non-technical perspective.
But the main focus here is help you understand how to improve decision making across the enterprise with geospatial technology and how, with the emergence of powerful and ubiquitous personal devices such as smartphones, the iPad, and others, to improve decision making in the field where thousands of bottom-line decisions are made every day.
Share your thoughts with me and others in my network by contacting me at inquiries@tlii.org. I look forward to hearing from you! more >
Welcome to my BeyeNETWORK expert channel — "In Search of Wisdom." With technology innovation lifting many boundaries and removing constraints, the questions business and IT professionals wrestle with move from "how do we do this" to "what do we do with all that power?" These are questions of philosophy.
I'll take an analytic view on the world of business and strategy, from a philosophical perspective. Unfortunately, we have lost the art and science of dialectical reasoning. Instead, we are ruled by the world of solutions. In fact, we are not even allowed to talk about problems anymore, we need to address them as "challenges." Yuch.
In this channel I'll take a different approach. I'd like to challenge (pun intended) you to think through problems a bit more. To show there are multiple ways of thinking, that there are irreconcilable views that somehow need to find a way to work together. Sometimes I'll be discussing very serious topics, and sometimes I'll take on lighter subjects. They do have a common theme: What would the old philosophers have said when confronted with current problems and topics in IT? Wouldn't that be true business intelligence?

Welcome to the Maureen Clarry Expert Channel on Leadership and Management Channel for the BeyeNETWORK.
There are more than 500 channels available on my TV, and I find myself consistently drawn to a select few. Although I don't tune into
TV regularly, I choose the channels that resonate with my interests and help me to learn, the ones that are entertaining and give me a break from the demands of everyday life. I hope that's what this Leadership and Management Channel will become - a place for you to learn and perhaps reflect on the entertaining and challenging stories related to working with human beings. Technology is definitely interesting, but people? Never a dull moment!
Over 15 years ago, I was inspired by a variety of factors to quit my job at General Electric and become an entrepreneur. Those factors included a conversation with Bill Inmon, an experience of My Best Project and a book by Charles Savage called Fifth Generation Management. My business and network of business intelligence contacts have grown extensively, and the knowledge and experience that continues to be shared is depressing, inspiring, practical and thought-provoking. Networking continues to be a key value, and I hope you'll share your leadership and management experiences, stories and questions by tuning in to this channel and/or contacting me at mclarry@connectknowledge.com. more >
Hello! And welcome to the Barry Devlin Expert Channel for the BeyeNETWORK. Those of you who recognize the name will know me as an old hand at data warehousing - dating back to even before the well-known "fathers" of the topic. Over 25 years ago, when I
created my first data warehouse architecture, success was getting the same answer to the same query asked by two different departments. These days, business demands much more: consistent answers for sure, but also timeliness, flexibility and speed across the entire information resource of the business. And technology can do so much more too. I believe these changes are fundamentally reinventing business intelligence, and in this channel I will be pushing you to consider new ideas within and beyond the boundaries of traditional business intelligence (BI) to see how you can recreate your world. Please feel free to email me at barry@9sight.com with your comments or suggestions on how I can provide the most relevant information to you. more >
Have you ever wondered what separates successful business intelligence (BI) implementations from not so successful ones? Do you want to hear the lessons that BI masters have learned in the trenches? Do you want to stay abreast of new tools and technologies in the BI and analytics space? If so, you’ve come to the right place. This channel provides practical advice from BI practitioners about the do’s and don’ts of data warehousing, business intelligence, performance management, and analytics. Drawing on my 20 years of BI expertise, this channel will serve as a one-stop shop to keep you in tune with the latest thinking in the BI world. more >
Visualization of data is emerging as a critical business function, equally important as strategy, technology, marketing, finance, etc. How deeply a company incorporates visualization into its decision-making will greatly determine their success. Yet, considering how to present information is usually done after the business intelligence requirements are developed and the analysis is completed. Since visualizations are the final product – and evolving into our most important communications medium – they should instead drive a significant level of BI and analytics activity. HD (high definition) means we will be talking about delivering clear messages, exploring state-of-the-art technology and, of course, creating beautiful images. My background in product management, marketing, and strategy are sure to bring you unexpected and interesting views on blending science, business, and art to elevate the impact and role of visualization in your company.

Hello and welcome to the BeyeNETWORK's Agile Business Intelligence (BI) Channel. If you're interested in learning how to apply Agile methods to BI solutions, then you've come to the right place.
This channel was developed by practitioners for practitioners. Its primary focus is to provide meaningful insights into best practices and to communicate what works and what doesn't. The channel explores Agile BI from many aspects - the theory and the reality, applying Agile principles to BI solutions, tools and techniques for improving team velocity, and how to accommodate reality when pure Agile concepts just simply won't do. Most importantly, the channel explores both the business and technical sides of the equation, as establishing a symbiotic balance between the two is perhaps Agile BI's most important imperative.
While Agile methods are not new, applying them to BI solutions is. And while much has been written about the topic, most articles and presentations address Agile BI at a fairly high level. The Agile BI Channel is intended to allow you to view Agile methods from both the mountaintop and from the weeds. The channel will take many twists and turns, providing information about lessons learned by some battle-tested BI/DW veterans up to and including new and emerging concepts and tools that enable BI teams to achieve ever-increasing levels of performance and quality.
Your comments and suggestions are truly welcome. By harnessing the collective wisdom of everyone, we can, in many ways, improve the foundational methods through which BI solutions are delivered. Let's learn from each other and have some fun along the way.

Welcome to my Expert Channel on Text Analytics for the BeyeNETWORK.
Text analytics is a set of technologies and processes that aim to discover and present knowledge - facts, business rules and relationships - previously locked in textual
form. Text analytics is the emerging answer to the widely recognized "unstructured information" challenge.
Leading organizations in the spectrum of business domains are harnessing text analytics to meet CRM, marketing, reputation management, publishing and competitive intelligence challenges and a broad variety of operational needs. According to The Data Warehousing Institute researcher Philip Russom, "Organizations embracing text analytics all report having an epiphany moment when they suddenly knew more than before."
This channel will help you understand text analytics and how it can help you create competitive advantage.
As channel expert, I will cover technology, applications and implementation strategy including how to integrate text analytics with existing business intelligence, data quality, content management and operational IT programs. I welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions. Please contact me at grimes@altaplana.com to share your thoughts. more >

Welcome to my BeyeNetwork channel on “Business Impact through Analytics” where we will discuss how to drive impact on the business through analytics and data. Many believe analytics is producing dashboards and reports from raw data; however, analytics is lot more. The true power of analytics is when it can be used to drive business decisions. Hence, analytics has the technical aspect of product insights and also the softer aspect of working with stakeholders to turn those insights into impact. In this channel, we will discuss all those topics along with career, training, analytics trends, advanced topics of predictive analytics and more. So join me in this journey of business transformation through analytics. more >

Welcome to my BeyeNETWORK expert channel on Database Design Techniques.
If you are contemplating, designing, building or maintaining a business intelligence environment, you are (or will be - or should be!) thinking about database
design. Database design affects: how long it takes to load the structures, how easily you can (or cannot) maintain the structures, how much duplicate data (and hence data that will have to be archived at some point in the future) you will keep, and how fast your queries will run (or not!).
This channel will devote itself to weeding through the different design theories and practices, discussing the pros and cons of each. I will breakdown design questions (How would you design…?) and offer possible solutions. We will dig into the four questions above and many more.
I value your opinions and would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me at chuckkelley@usa.net.

Welcome to my Expert Channel on Data Mining and Predictive Analytics Channel for the Business Intelligence Network. This channel covers the practical application of strategy, tactics and best practices for predictive modeling. Topics and
resources will focus on extending the value of business analytics with prospective intelligence derived through knowledge discovery and machine learning technology.
Traditionally, organizations use data tactically - to manage operations. For competitive edge, leading organizations use data strategically - to expand the business, improve profitability, reduce costs, anticipate behavior and market more effectively. The mining of data for predictive and descriptive indicators creates information assets that an organization can leverage to achieve these strategic objectives.
New content will be provided each month to guide business professionals in understanding how and when to get started in data mining, how to successfully maneuver a discovery process, interpret results, achieve actionable results and compare implementations across industries.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome on ways in which this channel may maintain relevant and usable material. I can be reached at eric@the-modeling-agency.com. more >

Hello and thank you for visiting my BeyeNetwork Expert Channel on all things data! In this channel we will focus on the strategies, techniques, resources and tools to manage data as a unique, valuable asset within your organization. These
capabilities generally tend to be categorized as data governance, master data management, data quality, metadata management, data integration and a series of other acronyms...like CDI and PIM. In addition to these traditional approaches, we will also talk about some of the other tools necessary to be successful with your data initiatives – like change management, alignment between lines of business and IT, stakeholder support and communication strategies. Whatever the terminology of the day, we will address common issues and concerns around data while being pragmatic/practical in our approaches on how to address them.
Why Agile? Because business changes, and if you're not ready to adjust your data strategies to changing interests, budgets, priorities and personnel, then your data program will be short lived and of little value. We will leverage some of the principles of the Agile development methodology to help you create and execute nimble data strategies based on a collaborative approach to deliver sustained, incremental value over time.
Check back in for case studies, hints and tips, industry trends, regulatory impacts and stories from clients and consultants. We aim to bring to life the best practices in managing data. We'd love to hear your feedback, ideas, stories and strategies. I can be reached via email at kelle@firstsanfranciscopartners.com.
or simply subscribe to the RSS feeds for my channel and blog. We are looking forward to the conversation!

Welcome to my expert channel on data integration for the BeyeNETWORK.
You're probably familiar with the narrow definition of data integration - that it is merely extract, transform and load (ETL) tools used to move data and transform it into a common format in a data warehouse. I prefer to think of data integration as the processes that transform data into business information.
So, why should you care about data integration? It's no secret to IT managers that enterprise information is not treated as a strategic asset. To add to the frustration, this means that no comprehensive information architecture and management strategy is designed and followed. It's not that IT isn't trying to convince senior management that information is a strategic asset; however, it can be difficult to quantify the business benefit. Additionally, sometimes it's impossible to incorporate the information architecture in your plans when deploying various business applications.
Given these challenges, how do you turn data into a strategic asset? How do you enable your business users to find the "single version of the truth?" Integrate data across the enterprise.
This channel will help you understand the challenges of data integration and learn how to tackle them so you can increase the ROI of data in your own enterprise. more >
Information management (IM) today is the management of information assets. As such, it is “soft” and separated from the operational world of business and IT. Operational information management (OIM) focuses on business data, its use, and its management as a core business capability. OIM improves business operations and transforms IT. My channel provides direction on making operational information management a reality. more >

Your questions, comments and suggestions will be critical in the evolution of the channel, so please email me at james@decisionmanagementsolutions.com so we can provide the information you want and need. more >
Welcome to my BeyeNetwork Channel on “Timely Insights to Reliable Foresights.” Insights come from having not just a good set of analytics folks who know statistics; it also needs a robust infrastructure upstream – source systems, clean data, robust ETLs,
a scalable data warehouse, and most importantly recognizing the insight as such in the context of deep domain knowledge. But insights, while good and useful, by themselves are insufficient; what we need is to then convert that into actionable intelligence through foresights. That’s where our channel comes in.
Here in this channel we will cover a host of topics across data warehousing, business intelligence, analytics, big data, best practices in project management, and also upcoming trends in various industries such as retail, travel, CPG, media, banking, and others. We shall talk about these topics from both business and technology points of view. The range of subjects is deliberately broad since it allows us to dabble into various time-pertinent issues. The gamut of areas provides us an opportunity to pull in a subject-matter expert from my organization, MindTree, relevant to the particular issue. And, most importantly, we all have different concerns to contend with at different times, and this channel caters to those types of needs. Dive in, take a look, and do pepper us with all your questions, feedback, and comments – we’d love it! For further information, please contact us at siva_vajjhala@mindtree.com. more >

Welcome to my BeyeNETWORK Expert Channel on virtual data warehouse architectures and the data delivery platform.
The last twenty years, the classic data warehouse architecture has served us well. But if we think about the new demands and requirements from our customers, such as real-time data warehousing and increased flexibility, and if we consider new technologies, ranging from data warehouse appliances to mashups, the question we can ask ourselves is whether this is still the best architecture we can come up with. My answer would be "No."
This expert channel will focus on a new architecture called the data delivery platform. The data delivery platform is based on the concept of a virtual data warehouse. This channel will help you understand the data delivery platform, how new technologies make it possible to develop this platform, and the design and architectural principles of the platform.
In a nutshell, the end of the era of the classic data warehouse architecture has come, and like with all other technical solutions and technologies, it is time for a replacement.
As channel expert I will cover technologies, ideas, tools and design principles related to the data delivery platform and virtual data warehouses. I do welcome your questions, comments, ideas and suggestions. Please send them to rick@r20.nl. I am looking forward to lively discussions. more >

For business integration, I will focus on topics such as portals and content management that help extend business intelligence into the knowledge management environment. more >
Welcome to the BI Impact Channel for the BeyeNETWORK. The focus of this channel is on what it takes to achieve BI impact – where business intelligence (BI) makes a real difference in business performance. It’s a fact that business intelligence
needs to be assimilated into the core value-adding processes of your business in order to make a difference, and this is what creates a range of management challenges. While most businesses have BI capabilities these days, many still struggle with the challenge of fully leveraging these capabilities.
This channel discusses the business, technical and organizational paradigm shifts that must take place as organizations mature their BI capabilities. Please bookmark this channel as your source for ideas on how to mature your organization’s ability to achieve BI impact, and please feel free to email either of us with your comments, questions or concerns: nancy.williams@decisionpath.com or steve.williams@decisionpath.com. more >
Welcome to my Expert Channel on Business Intelligence for the Mid-Market for the BeyeNETWORK.
Until recently, the needs of mid-market organizations were overlooked in terms of available business intelligence (BI) solutions. As
vendors expand their offerings to include small and mid-market companies and as new solution providers enter the market to target mid-sized organizations, the benefits and options available to these organizations become a blur.
This channel will feature monthly articles and provide other resources to help guide you through what is happening within BI for mid-market, the choices available to mid-market organizations, and the technology behind the solutions themselves. Please feel free to contact me at lwise@wiseanalytics.com with questions, comments, and suggestions. more >
