The sixth annual Understanding conference will take place in Sun Valley, Idaho, on February 6-10, 2005.
The conference provides an excellent opportunity for ProClarity customers, partners and prospects to network and share information on trends, best practices and innovations within the business intelligence (BI) industry.
The Spring 2005 Understanding event will feature case study presentations from Time, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Level 3 Communications, iStrategy and Thorogood Associates.
“We have made great strides with our ProClarity application and I’m looking forward to sharing our success story at Understanding,” said Jim Schumm, Senior Analyst for Time Inc. “Successful BI applications are grounded on proper tools and know-how, and I’m excited to learn more about the innovative practices that can benefit my organization.”
Understanding conferences are held annually in both North America and Europe to promote successful business intelligence applications through the open exchange of proven best practices. Understanding in Sun Valley will include presentations from ProClarity executives and industry experts including Neil Raden, consultant and founder of Hired Brains Research, and Bill Baker, general manager of SQL Server Business Intelligence at Microsoft Corp.
“I attended and spoke at the first North America Understanding last year, and I’m excited to attend and speak again this year,” said Baker. “Both Microsoft and ProClarity believe deeply in the power of business intelligence to improve companies and organizations by supporting enhanced decision making. Knowledge and experience are two very important resources in effective BI implementations; this conference provides the ideal forum for the exchange of valuable information among business intelligence peers.”
Understanding is designed for a wide audience including business professionals, IT managers, developers and consultants. In addition to the best practices sessions on ProClarity Analytic Applications and successful BI solutions, attendees will also learn how to utilize the new features and enhancements in ProClarity 6 including the integration with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and advantages of real-time reporting made available with ProClarity Live Server.
“The information shared at this conference provides the foundation for effective BI applications,” said Clay Young, Senior Vice President of Strategic Marketing for ProClarity. “Understanding brings together some of the most knowledgeable experts in the industry, and the training courses are guaranteed to benefit ProClarity customers and partners alike.”
