View the Webinar and Find Out How to Uncork the Data Bottleneck with Operational BI
The evolution of operational BI is combining Web 2.0 principles and extending the capabilities of search technology to enable that very development.

Operational business intelligence is now ready to recast the information management paradigm in a more user-oriented way. Tune into this 35-minute DM Review Webinar to learn how the combination of search and natural language query makes BI as easy as Web search and why true operational business intelligence extends the value of both traditional search and BI investments exponentially. Sponsored by Progress EasyAsk, this event features a 10-minute presentation by Mark Madsen, Principal of Third Nature, followed by a 15-minute product demonstration by Dr. Larry Harris, General Manager and Vice President of Progress EasyAsk, and a 10-minute Q&A.

Register for the Webcast: Making BI as Easy As Web Search
The complexity of traditional BI tools often limits their use to executive dashboards and analyst groups. This leaves more than 80% of potential beneficiaries without immediate access to BI data. The result is a backlog of requests to IT and analysts. The data exists, but operational business users often delay decisions while waiting for BI reports that may take days, weeks or even months to obtain. How do companies overcome this common problem? View this webcast featuring Colin White of BI Research and Rich Wood, EasyAsk VP of Development to find out how companies are implementing “BI for Everyone” by making BI analysis as easy as web search.
