Charging Ahead of the Competition with ‘Buy, Not Build’ Analytics – ZAP Business Intelligence
Session Survey
Choosing the right Business Intelligence solution to complement the wealth of data in your ERP system is an important and difficult decision.  Many organizations opt to build this functionality - a proposition that is expensive and risky; and often times not scalable. For those who choose to buy a BI solution, the decision can be difficult, with so many vendors providing solutions that do not deliver or focus too much on intangible areas. While collaboration and social media are valuable, are they the things that are keeping you up at night when thinking about information-sharing across your business? Most likely not; it is the ability to access simple reports and analytics from a trusted data source that are easily consumed by employees across all areas of your business. THAT IS ZAP. Join our one hour session as we discuss the pros and cons of Buying vs. Building Business Intelligence. Learn why over the past 12 months more and more organizations are choosing ZAP for their Business Intelligence solution. The first 75 people to register and attend will receive a USB Flash Charger!

As CFOs, we love business intelligence. Performance metrics are like happy pills for us - they trigger endorphins that make us happy when we start crunching and analyzing. But how much focus on business performance is too much? In a recent study of 2,300 companies only 10 were able to grow their net income by 5% each year for 10 years. The best way to achieve high performance today, and improve tomorrow, is by simultaneously concentrating on both performance and organizational health.

Have you ever thought about how much money your company spends on getting supply to meet plan? Some companies even have their CEO expediting! Now consider how much money you spend getting a better handle on demand.

More and more companies are investing in Demand Planning and Microsoft is, in turn, investing in the tools to help them. But how should you use the tools? How do you incorporate forecast data your customer is willing to share? How do you leverage macro factors, sales history, field intelligence? Attend this session and get some ideas.
