Devlin – one of the founders of the data warehouse, practicing BI analyst, speaker and author – said the intensive two-day seminar would cover topics in the context of a future-oriented architecture, defined in his recent book, Business unIntelligence. Each attendee will receive a signed copy of Devlin’s Business unIntelligence.
“The course will explore how we need to redesign our IT environments for the business of the future,” said Devlin. “Tomorrow’s business demands a new IT architecture that reintegrates all decision-making and action-taking across all its processes.
“Attend to learn how your IT environment and organization can succeed and become a real partner with business in driving change and managing the introduction of fully integrated, real-time processes, closely linking information and activities from all areas of the enterprise.”
Yellowfin Director of Sales for APAC, Adam Chicktong, said that Yellowfin was happy to support Devlin’s course, as understanding broader trends impacting the BI market was critical in order to achieve success.
“Barry Devlin has immense knowledge of Business Intelligence and related disciplines,” said Chicktong. “Barry’s course provides the necessary context and framework to understand and act on the rapid changes sweeping the industry, as organizations become increasingly data-driven and analytics more pervasive.”
Devlin’s course will run throughout Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th August 2016, held at Saxons’ conference center (level 10, 10 Barrack Street, Sydney NSW 2000).
