Successful Governance Involves More Than Data Access

The healthcare industry is transitioning to adjust to a more digitally reliant world. As healthcare organisations convert from a fee-for-service industry to a value-based payment model, they need to have modern technologies to support all aspects of clinical and financial operations. Healthcare administrators need the right technological tools to improve operations, address patient care more effectively, and solve industry challenges.

A modern BI&A platform can offer advanced analytics solutions for the healthcare industry in a variety of applications, providing whole-system analytics to bring together clinical, operational, and financial data.

Please join presenters Ronald van Loon and Angelika Klidas at the conclusion of the webinar for an interactive Q&A.

In today’s retail industry, the customer service bar is set higher than ever—the nice-to-haves are now the must-haves, and if you don’t offer them, customers will turn to other retailers who do. From print ads to e-commerce to brick and mortar, customers expect a unified experience across all sales touchpoints, otherwise known as an omnichannel experience.

How do you know what the customers want? A data-driven strategy is key to deepening consumer understanding, increasing engagement, and maintaining a seamlessly integrated customer experience.

With the right analytics approach, you can increase efficiency and improve results through:

• Facilitating timely, fact-based decision-making
• Executing targeted marketing campaigns
• Improving supply chain management
• Maximising sales and profitability
• Transforming store operations

During this 45 minute webinar Ronald will propose a structured journey to achieving these goals, Ian will bring those steps to life through a practical demonstration of Pyramid Analytics’ BI Office in a retail environment and Martin will provide perspectives from his experience as Technology Director at Liberty Ltd and Head of Strategy and Architecture with Harrods.

Self-service analytics solutions often quickly expose data quality issues that you may not even realize exist. Unfortunately, inaccurate data undermines the value of analytics. If people don't trust your reports, they won’t use them. Since self-service analytics credibility, adoption and success hinges on accurate data, data quality should be given more attention as you implement these solutions.

Please join me in this informative session to learn how to address common data quality issues. We will cover practical recommendations, review top data quality solutions, and share additional lessons learned.

Daten gelten als Öl des 21. Jahrhunderts und Produktionsfaktor. Immer mehr Daten werden gesammelt, um fundierter entscheiden zu können und das Unternehmen dadurch erfolgreicher zu steuern. Dabei sind Unternehmen i.d.R. doppelt herausgefordert: einerseits durch die ständig wachsende Menge an Daten, andererseits durch die Notwendigkeit, sämtlichen Mitarbeitern immer umfassenderen Zugriff auf Daten zu geben.
Es kann daher durchaus schwierig erscheinen, die riesigen Datenmengen und -nutzung erfolgreich zu managen.
Eine Corporate Self-Service Analytics (SSA)-Umgebung ist daher ein wesentlicher Bestandteil zur Stärkung einer datengestützten Strategie.

Erfahren Sie in diesem Webinar von Ronald van Loon, Big Data-, Analytics- & IoT-Experte, und Dirk Jung, Solution Sales Architect bei Pyramid Analytics:

• Vorteile, die eine SSA-Umgebung bietet
• Wie Ihr Unternehmen eine SSA-Umgebung erfolgreich managen kann
• Best Practices
• Praktische Beispiele analytischer Governance in einer SSA-Umgebung mit BI Office
• Hilfreiche Tipps, womit und wie Sie am besten beginnen
• Weitverbreitete Fallstricke, die mit einer SSA-Umgebung verbunden und zu vermeiden sind

In einer abschließenden Q&A-Runde haben Sie dann noch die Möglichkeit, mit unseren beiden Experten Fragen bzw. Themen zu diskutieren.

Howard Dresner, noted business intelligence analyst, and Peter Sprague, VP of Product Management, discuss Howard’s latest research around collaborative BI, what collaborative BI really means, and how organizations are using collaborative business intelligence to increase adoption, reduce content development times, and get more value for their organizations than ever.

Over the last decade the business landscape has changed as more companies and users – spanning business and IT – have grown dependent on analytics to drive better decision-making. With so much riding on it, are you treating your Business Intelligence solution like a Tier 1 application? If not, it’s time for you to rethink your strategy and approach to business analytics.

During this session Omri Kohl, Co-founder and CEO, Pyramid Analytics will cover:

• Why BI became a Tier 1 application
• What enterprises should look for in a Tier 1 BI solution
• How a Tier 1 BI solution can be implemented with a low TCO without compromise

In this session we will explore how to apply proactive, predictive intelligence to enhance reporting. Pyramid Analytics provides a complete platform for analytics visualization with sophisticated, point-and-click algorithms, made simple – empowering everyone to discover hidden insights.

Please join me to learn how time intelligence, statistics, forecasting, clustering, R integration, and even creative use of parameters and variables can be used to identify patterns and relationships in data that weren’t initially evident. Enjoy the power of advanced analytics to improve organizational performance and outcomes. No statistics degree required.

Outcome driven healthcare organizations today are embracing analytics and self-service BI reporting programs. Where do you stand in comparison to your peers? How far have they progressed in the analytics maturity model? What are their common challenges, gaps, and successes? What other technologies are they exploring? Please join me to review our recent research and openly discuss our findings.

In this session, we will cover how to design a governed, enterprise self-service reporting strategy. Topics include solution selection requirements, organizational structure, architecture, implementation checklist and best practices for responsibly implementing self-service BI across an enterprise. We look at ways to fill gaps and augment existing Microsoft BI or Power BI environments. We'll also share organizational models for delivering self-service BI with agility yet maintaining strong governance with Pyramid Analytics best-in-class capabilities.

Traditional business reporting is often one-size-fits-all. It rarely provides the targeted analytic content required by different decision-makers with unique informational needs. Business leaders need more than just accurate and timely reporting—they need data-driven analytic context. In this webinar, we’ll examine how organizations can benefit from modern BI tools that feature advanced, customizable reporting capabilities (smart infographics, dynamic text, and more) that automatically deliver contextualized analytic content for specific users. Examples will be demonstrated using Pyramid Analytics’ BI Office.

True governance covers numerous aspects of the business intelligence environment – not just who has access to what data but how reports, dashboards, and other content is managed. This webinar will discuss challenges organizations commonly run into and how successful governance programs must not only correctly identify all of these aspects, but understand how they all fit together.

Modern self-service personal productivity analytic tools allow individual users to create sophisticated calculations and sets. However, for an organization to maximize the value of analytics this business logic must be released from myriad of spreadsheets and documents that it is embedded. Join us to discuss how analytic platforms allow data-driven organizations to centralize, share and contextualize this content.

Today’s organizations face increased decentralization and accelerating decision. To meet these challenges, decision makers are demanding Self-service analytic tools that support the entire decision lifecycle.

Every decision maker needs access to reliable information to do their job. This has only become more critical with the rise of the Digital IT organization. Join Peter Sprague while he discusses traditional ways that organizations have faced this challenge, along with a discussion of analytic platforms and how they fit into the transformation towards true data-driven organizations.

As decision makers clamor for access to data, many business intelligence projects are implemented with limited IT involvement and governance. This results in data privacy and security breaches in addition to inconsistent or incomplete use of data. To counter these adverse effects, Gartner predicts a return to governed enterprise BI solutions. In this session we will address the differences between IT-Enabled and IT-Governed business intelligence platforms. We will also consider the need for a governed self-service analytics platform and how organizations can achieve that goal.

Data Modeling is a critical component of enterprise BI. Most data modeling is desktop-based. This can lead to a large number of problems including scale, maintenance, collaboration and security.
Join Chris Webb independent consultant and Peter Sprague VP Solutions Engineering at Pyramid Analytics for a discussion about how to avoid an epidemic of poorly designed and scattered data models throughout an organization. Questions tackled will include:
-What is the impact of poor data modeling decisions?
-Can data modeling decisions be delayed?
-Do new tools and technologies alleviate the need for good data modeling?
-What are the data modeling needs of an enterprise?

One reason why some vendors promote the idea that OLAP is dead is because they are promoting the idea of smaller, user created models (the desktop BI approach) rather than a single centralized model. While OLAP may be out of fashion, the capabilities and benefits of the technology make sense for many data warehouse scenarios.

Join Chris Webb independent consultant specializing in Analysis Services, MDX, Power Pivot, DAX, Power Query and Power BI and Peter Sprague VP Solutions Engineering at Pyramid Analytics for a discussion about OLAP technology and the things you need to consider, including:
•Centralized data models and security
•OLAP vs Big Data Tools
•OLAP, Data Volumes and Scale
