Improve Institutional Performance by better, faster, data-driven decisions - Chris Eske, Platform Specialist Sound
executive decision making is at the heart of a flourishing Institution.
But the data on which to make choices is often dispersed, and hidden
deep in discrete enterprise systems. This session will discuss the
current trends in “big data” and give participants concepts of how this
may aid multiple divisions within their organisations to inform decision
making.
