Free ‘Business Intelligence’ seminar to discuss how better data reporting can improve decision-making

BELLEVUE, WASH.– How can business leaders reduce risk when making major decisions? By using business intelligence systems to inform their thinking with comprehensive, up-to-date, integrated data.

The benefits of business intelligence (BI) systems will be the topic when Bellevue Community College (BCC) presents a free seminar led by Art Olsen, president of Intellcia Corporation, a Redmond-based BI company, on the morning of Tues., May 16.

The event begins at 9 a.m. (registration at 8:30) in room 201 of the N Building on BCC’s main campus (3000 Landerholm Circle S.E., off 148th Ave. S.E.; the N Building is located at the extreme south end of campus).

While the seminar is free, attendees are asked to pre-register by sending an email to bi@bcc.ctc.edu, with “BI Seminar” in the subject line.

Finance, marketing, forecasting and sales operations all have been major beneficiaries of business intelligence systems, which bring together information from all parts of a business for analysis and reporting as a unified, readily accessible view of business activity.

Business intelligence systems are most effective when deployed and managed by specialists who understand both the information needs of decision-makers and the BI tools and techniques to fulfill them.

Bellevue Community College offers new degree and certificate programs to train incumbent employees in business intelligence, which is one of the fastest growing information technology fields.

The seminar is co-sponsored by the BCC Business Division and Intellcia Corporation.
