Analytics Symposium

We are very happy to confirm that Timo Elliott, Innovation Evangelist at SAP will be delivering one of the keynotes, Driving Business Innovation Through Big Data Analytics. Analytics is no longer an afterthought to operational systems — it’s now the foundation for the innovative organisations of the future. This session examines the latest interesting trends in Big Data and Analytics:

• Analytics becomes part of your customer experience
• Concrete success stories of how companies like yours are turning data into real business innovation.
• How new technology options are breaking down the barriers to agile analytics
• The rise of collaborative insight
• The new best practices for analytic teams
