Last year’s TDWI World Conference in San Diego helped hundreds of business intelligence (BI) professionals begin to develop the agile environment. This year, we’re focusing on the evolution of agile. We’ll showcase the latest thinking on agile project management, methodologies, and modeling, along with a look at the lingering controversy: Does agile really work for BI and data warehousing? In a rapidly changing market and economy, every business needs to make informed decisions fast. More and more organizations are joining the agile business intelligence movement—an emerging approach that enables information delivery at the speed of thought.

A recent TDWI report highlighted the combination of visual reporting and visual analysis as a key new trend in business intelligence.  A copy of the full report is available by clicking here: TDWI Report: Visual Analysis and Reporting. Seeing is Knowing (2011)  This report describes how these new technologies are allowing every-day business people to make faster and better decisions from their underlying business data.  There are two related concepts that work together:  Visual Reporting and Visual Analysis.  Visual Reporting is the display of data in charts, graphs, and tables that make it easy to see the patterns, trends and ...

Webinar Abstract It’s been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. A well-designed chart or dashboard can communicate more information in a compact space than a traditional tabular report. More importantly, these visual displays can steer the viewer’s eyes quickly to the most salient information, accelerating time to insight. In addition, visual technology has become interactive, making visualization an important analytical tool. This Webinar will examine advances in the visual display of data and how organizations are harnessing this technology to enhance reporting, analysis, and performance management. It will synthesize best practices for designing visual displays ...

Dashboards and scorecards resonate with business users because they conform to the way users work, rather than forcing them to conform to the way analysis and reporting tools work. These applications let users monitor the status of KPIs at a glance and alert users via pager, e-mail, or wireless devices when performance deviates from predefined targets.

This report is designed for business and technical managers who are responsible for setting, measuring, monitoring, and managing business performance and overseeing teams of analysts responsible for analyzing data to support strategic and tactical decisions and ongoing planning efforts.

When he’s unable to convey the inexplicable content of his consciousness, a character in a T.S. Eliot poem speaks of projecting his thoughts in patterns on a screen. The idea is that a picture is worth a thousand (sometimes many more) words. It’s a cliché, and one that many BI analysts are now taking to heart, thanks to the use of data visualization technologies that help give form and content to the almost ineffable.

Data visualization is increasingly an essential element of business intelligence (BI). No longer restricted to specialized applications, data visualization in the form of charts, maps, and other graphical representations is enabling business users to better understand data and use it to achieve tactical and strategic objectives. Moreover, data visualization is prompting a cultural shift toward more analytic, data-driven business and operations by empowering users to explore, in a graphically inviting medium, data that was previously available only in tabular reports. This TDWI Best Practices Report, which is based on a Web survey of BI professionals and interviews with BI practitioners ...
