Business Objects has announced its first Annual User Conference in Africa. The Business Objects 2002 User Conference will be held on 11 July at The Castle in Kyalami.
"The conference theme in SA, 'Return on Intelligence`, will address how companies can turn their existing data into intelligence to make smarter business decisions, drive revenue, optimise business processes, and save money," says Gary Lawrence, country manager of Business Objects in SA.
"We believe our customers will realise the greatest return on investment when business intelligence is involved in every business process," said Lawrence.
"As business intelligence is extended to all levels of employees and customers, the benefits will be multiplied several times over. The companies that make business intelligence part of their strategic backbone will be the ones to gain competitive advantage, increased profits and customer satisfaction, and will emerge as the leaders in today`s changing global economy.
"The conference will help attendees understand the full potential that BI has to offer all businesses - not only from a perspective of improving customer satisfaction, but also streamlining operations, reducing costs and increasing revenues."
Speakers from Dimension Data, Bytes Technology Group, IBM, KPMG. Santam, Microsoft, Anglo Platinum and other leading companies will cover a broad spectrum of topics designed to help IT leaders and business users get maximum value from BI investments.
In addition, Business Objects will also offer product-focused tracks that include individualised sessions from customers and Business Objects experts on:
* How to power CRM using business intelligence;
* Return on Intelligence - maintaining a competitive advantage;
* Looking beyond the IT hype of BI;
* The reality of BI and data warehousing;
* Data warehousing and dimensional modelling; and
* Implementing a BI solution.
