We are delighted to invite you to an interactive webinar on 'Open Business Intelligence'. Business Intelligence (BI) is one of the most abused terms in Corporate Information Technology. Time and time again, BI software is rolled out - and the promised ROI fails to materialize. More often than not, it is a term used by vendors of database software who want to differentiate their reporting offerings.

We have a different take on BI. Open BI systems, based on techniques such as functional programming, can help organizations fix far larger problems than they would with more traditional techniques. Using real examples, this webinar will demonstrate how open BI is implemented using functional programming techniques, can solve problems of real interest to organizations.

Topics Covered

• How you can use functional programming to break free of vendor imposed constraints on your BI projects
• Ways to use functional programming techniques to solve BI problems like Natural Language Processing, applied to customer comment analytics, and Monte Carlo Simulation, applied to portfolio valuation

These real world problems, such as 'How do our customers feel about us?' and 'What is an asset portfolio worth given a risk model?', merely scratch the surface of what's possible. We hope that this webinar gets you thinking more broadly about the power of real open BI.
