People |
As enterprises prepare to undertake large IT infrastructure projects, a
significant amount of planning must occur to meet business goals, complete
initiatives on time and stay within budget. However, planning for one of the
most critical elements of these projects, the human capital required to achieve
ROI from revamped IT infrastructures, is often neglected. Research findings and
whitepaper built in partnership with CIO, based off a CIO Market Pulse Study

| Practical Business Intelligence Strategies |
Companies that stand out from the crowd have learned the importance of
leveraging information to make the right decisions. These companies respond to
market changes quickly, drive inefficiency out of their business processes, and
have a deep understanding of what their customers want, as well as what to
charge for it. Such organizations are successful in large part because they
know how to get the most out of their business intelligence (BI) investments.
