The Gartner Summit 2013 in Barcelona

The Gartner Business Intelligence & Analytics Summit and Master Data Management Summit 2013 are being held from 5 – 8 February in Barcelona. Two Summits in One week, back to back, to expand your experience.

Gartner Business Intelligence Analytics Summit, Barcelona 2013

Business Intelligence and Master Data Management depend on each other to bring out their strengths. Even the best BI strategy is only as good as the data it relies on. The Gartner Business Intelligence & Analytics Summit provides a unique mix of Gartner Research presentations, Guest Keynote Addresses, Real-Life Case Studies, Interactive Panel Discussions and Selected Industry Sessions to provide you with a holistic view of the business intelligence and performance management landscape.

The Business Intelligence conference will help drive your organization towards analytic excellence by addressing questions like: What is new in BI? How do analytics and BI relate? How do firms develop an effective BI strategy? What methods of improving data quality work? How do you get business user involvement in BI? How to link BI to Master Data Management initiatives? Are cloud analytics offerings viable?

The outcome of your business initiatives depends directly on the degree to which this master data is well-understood, consistent, accurate, and trusted. In essence, Master Data Management (MDM) has become a critical enabling business discipline required for success in the 21st century.

Analytic excellence requires initiatives that reduce the gap between BI producers, enablers and consumers. It also demands that BI teams embrace a portfolio of BI platform, performance management and discrete analytic technologies, in order to expand the use cases covered and their relevance to the decisions end users need to make. This approach means learning from what business teams are doing to meet their own requirements, figuring out what broader “information products” are most valuable and where BI solution architectures should integrate these deliverables.

The Gartner Business Intelligence & Analytics Summit will take place 05 February 2013 to 07 February 2013 in Barcelona, Spain at Palau de Congressos de Catalunya. You can find all information on the official webpage of the event.
