Driving organisational performance with functional analytics

The ability to gain insights from data will help businesses pinpoint market trends and highlight any issues, says ITWeb.


Johannesburg, 09 Oct 2017

Over the years, business intelligence (BI) has transformed the way we do business, by giving organisations access to floods of information from multiple data sources and impacting industries in the process.

Moreover, the ability to analyse this data, and glean actionable insights from it, is helping companies of all types and sizes make better, more intelligent decisions ahead of time. This in turn is helping businesses meet their customers' needs by offering them strategic and innovative products and solutions.

"This is why we decided to theme Business Intelligence Summit 2018 'Driving organisational performance with functional analytics'," explains Angela Mace, CRM and Events director at ITWeb. "Ultimately, the ability to gain insights from data will help businesses pinpoint market trends and highlight any issues that need to be addressed."

According to her, the marketplace as we know it, for the majority of organisations, is moving away from traditional processes, towards business practices that have the ability to survive, thrive, and compete with today's technologically advanced customer.

"Today's customers are driving the demand. More than ever now, the customer is calling the shots. They want good products and services, and they want them now. Failure to meet their needs will see them moving on to your competitor.
