Whatever comes to mind when you think of Las Vegas will change the last week of January. With the best in the BI industry converging for MicroStrategy World 2013, Vegas will transform into the city of big ideas in big data and analytics.
As a platinum sponsor, we have exciting events planned throughout the week including a luncheon, speaking engagements, and a party for the ages at the Palms Casino Resort. With visionary keynotes sharing insight into innovative industry trends, Pandera will energize this year’s event with our EDA|360 life-cycle management and applications that go way beyond BI.
Pandera is looking forward to the evolution of BI where technologies collect as much intelligence as they report out, via simple human interaction and utilization. Then using the intelligence collected as an input into the core measurement systems, essentially building truly intelligent learning systems. We are increasingly excited that this vision is close to being a reality, where “Business Intelligence” is a state of being, not a platform.
What are your expectations for Vegas?
