AMCIS Mini-track: Business Intelligence
(Part of SIGDSS Track)
16th Americas Conference on Information
Systems (AMCIS)
August 12-15, 2010
Lima, Peru
Description:
The goal of business intelligence (BI) is to
summarize massive amounts of disparate corporate data into succinct
information that can help managers better understand their business
processes, make informed decisions, and improve organizational
efficiency. BI, for example, gives managers the ability to amalgamate
enterprise-wide data into specific metrics that link customer service
objectives to the performance of the sales force. In today's strapped
economy, accurate real-time BI metrics are even
more critical for measuring and managing business performance. Many
technologies contribute to BI solutions, including databases, data
warehouses, data marts, analytic processing, and data mining, among
others. BI acquires data from multiple platforms and provides
ubiquitous access. This presents numerous technical and managerial
challenges. Among these challenges are data warehouse development
methodologies, data consolidation from multiple sources, web
integration, data visualization, real-time business metrics,
data-mining
applications, and issues related to securing and protecting data,
infrastructure and the resulting intelligence. This mini-track aims to
promote innovative research in these BI domains.
Suggested topics include (but are not
limited to):
* Real-time business metrics (such as
performance measurements)
* Supporting the "balanced scorecard"
* Using the warehouse to create "digital
dashboards"
* Data warehouse development
* Data mart development
* Critical success factors for data
warehouse implementation
* Data mining techniques (neural networks,
genetic algorithms, decision trees)
* Analytical processing
* Customer profiling
* Visualization techniques for enterprise
data
* Techniques for summarizing data
* End user queries and query languages
* Meta-data management
* Integration of legacy data (transformation
of data)
* Assessing data warehouse performance
* Considerations for the web-based data
warehouse
* Integration of web services with the data
warehouse
* Information extraction and report
generation
* Real-time decision making
