Renton, WA (PRWEB) April 12, 2012
Four team members from The Resource Group attended the Gartner Business Intelligence Summit 2012 held April 2-4 in Los Angeles. The summit was presented by Gartner, Inc., a leading information technology research and advisory company. The Resource Group is a leading provider of ERP and Business Analytics solutions designed to help customers gain business insight.
The summit provided strategies and best practices needed by organizations to maximize the business value of Business Intelligence (BI) as well as next-generation analytics. Members of The Resource Group attended the conference as part of the company’s continuing effort to help customers in the mid-market gain better insight into their business by using business analytics in their decision process. Gartner believes that companies which are not using business analytics in the next five years will be at a competitive disadvantage.
“Attending the Gartner BI Summit provided us a wealth of information,” said Sean Ingalls, Customer Account Manager for The Resource Group. “We learned that it is no longer a competitive advantage to just capture relevant data, but it was the actual use of the data that is going to separate companies. In fact, per Gartner, companies who do not adopt a Business Intelligence strategy in the next five years will be at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace. Given our expertise in ERP, we felt that the concept of Business Intelligence is just a natural progression for The Resource Group service offerings and are excited about the opportunity to bring it to the SMB market space.”
This year’s summit focused on Analytic Excellence: Transforming Data Driven Decisions. Topics covered included effective BI strategy, Cloud and Software as a Service (SaaS) options for analytics, dealing with big data, predictive and prescriptive analytics, and dashboard design. In addition, summit attendees were able to meet on-site with Gartner analysts as well as participate in interactive workshops and networking opportunities.
