about Reporting and Analytics

[Forrester Guest Speaker]

Most enterprises have already started their journey to become data driven. They manage to transform at least some of their data into indicators or signals, and they base at least some of their key operational, tactical, strategic decisions based on such signals. But getting signals from data is where many such efforts and benefits end.

The next level of evolution – what Forrester calls insights-driven business transformation – is the ability to transform enterprise data into insights, which in turn trigger actions that affect tangible business outcomes. Enterprises also face an additional challenge and an opportunity – turning data into actionable insights in an agile manner – a key capability of adaptive enterprises.

Learn about about insights-driven business transformation in this on-demand webinar featuring guest speaker, Boris Evelson, VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, Rupesh Sharma, CEO of Orbit Analytics, Ravi Jasti, CTO of Orbit Analytics.

Markets move fast, and the volume of data that organizations face is growing faster every day. The quest for real-time analytics insight is getting more difficult right at the time organizations need it to get easier.

The cloud can help resolve this conundrum. A move to the cloud makes business intelligence accessible and affordable.

In this on-demand webinar, we cover the challenges organizations face from the ever-growing volume of data inputs and discuss options for hosting on the cloud – and a path to get you there.

Excel is the lingua franca of spreadsheets, but also likely the oldest technology on your desktop. In fact, it’s the baby boomers’ choice for business intelligence. And while it’s a powerful tool in the right hands, it can pose risks and inefficiencies to your organization. So, when is it time to break up with Excel?

This on-demand webinar discusses the liabilities (and some benefits) of using Excel and demonstrates several modern analytics alternatives, including self-service BI and languages like Python and R.

We cover the good, the bad and the ugly, so you can decide for yourself how your organization should be using Excel today.

The most valuable assets in an organization are its people. Some of the many questions that need to be answered about your workforce are: ‘Did I hire the right talent?’ ‘Why are employees leaving my organization?’ ‘Is employee performance being optimized?’ HR departments have considerable amounts of data that can answer those questions, but what are the keys to gaining insights into this data?

In this on-demand webinar, we dive into the data stories from five HR dashboards to see what additional insights you can uncover from your data:

• Equal employment opportunity and diversity initiatives
• Absenteeism
• Employee attrition
• Performance
• Requisitions and vacancies

You have years of valuable data in PeopleSoft, but are you obtaining insights from that data? In this webinar, we’ll help you see – and tell – the data stories that are hiding in your metrics. We’ll cover topics like:
