Agile BI Seminar in Boston
September 30

Join Pentaho and Athena IT Solutions in Boston, to learn how Pentaho is revolutionizing the way BI applications are built and deployed. With tight budgets, limited headcount and more requests for Pentahovital information than ever before, we need new approaches to solve both old and new IT and business challenges, to avoid the costly and complex BI implementations of the past. Pentaho’s Agile BI methodology combined with a commercial open source business model enables you to overcome these roadblocks and deliver successful BI solutions to business users more quickly and at significantly lower costs.

This seminar is designed both for business analysts and executives that wish to learn more about how Agile BI can positively impact your business as well as for technical staff involved in building BI solutions. The latter portion of the seminar will include an extensive, step-by-step training demonstration of a BI implementation from ETL to deployed dashboards. This demonstration is strongly recommended for anyone involved in data integration and/or business intelligence projects.

Join us for our live ½ day seminar in Boston to:

  • Learn how your peers are succeeding with Open Source Business Intelligence
  • Learn how Agile BI enables greater collaboration between IT and business users
  • See how BI Applications can be deployed faster than ever
  • Take part in a step-by-step training demonstration of an actual BI application implementation from data integration to the building and deploying of relevant reports and dashboards

This morning seminar will show you how to quickly and cost effectively arm your IT and business managers with the information they need to make the right decisions to grow your business and keep it competitive.
