QUADRUS PRESENTS "DATA MINING & BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE: DERIVING INTELLIGENCE FROM DATA" - APRIL 22, 2003


Come and learn more about one of the hottest topics in technology and business today, Data Mining and Business Intelligence. Quadrus will present the following session at the upcoming CIPS Calgary SIG on April 22, 2003:

"Data Mining & Business Intelligence: Deriving Intelligence from Data"
Recent developments in technology have enabled the development of large and complex data warehouses for storage of integrated business data in a central repository. Now, the challenge and opportunity lie in how to leverage massive stores of data to derive knowledge for business decision-making. Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) engines have provided an important means to facilitate knowledge discovery since they enable business users to test for hypothesized relationships in their data. However, the number of factors involved in discovering data relationships creates complex challenges when deriving knowledge. Data mining can successfully overcome these challenges by automating the recognition of statistically significant relationships in large datasets.

Data Mining & Business Intelligence: Deriving Intelligence from Data will provide information on data mining and describe its integral position in the intelligent enterprise. Various data mining methods, along with relevant examples, will also be explored in context to the business questions they are best designed to answer. Overall, this presentation will provide you with the key information you need to derive intelligence from data and move your business intelligence environment successfully into the future.
