Business Intelligence Lunch 'N Learn - Feb. 7

Description

"Invisible and effective BI in retail banking"
Featuring, Julie Hamrick, Founder & COO, and Thom Suhy, Manager of Client Engagement, Ignite Sales, Inc.

The shortage of talent to mine, model, and interpret data - much less determine how to use it to improve business processes - makes it imperative to create software that makes business intelligence invisible to users and embeds it into business processes.  In this presentation, you will find out more about the use of decision trees, business rules, and data models in real-time to render salespeople more knowledgeable and customers more confident for their purchasing decisions.
