Business intelligence (BI) is a broad set of technologies used to gather, store, analyze and provide access to data to help business users make better decisions. BI technologies include reporting, dashboards, data mining, etc. Business analytics (BA) focuses more on predictive analytics using statistical modeling and machine learning to predict future outcomes and optimize decisions. While BI and BA overlap, BI answers questions about past performance, while BA answers questions about why things are happening, what will happen next, and how to optimize outcomes.

Huron_Spend_Analysis_PitfallsPainPromise_vFinalJens Brown
Jens Brown discusses the pitfalls, pain, and promise of spend analytics. He highlights how one institution used Spend Radar to analyze spend data from multiple systems, including two ERP systems, expense management, credit cards, and eProcurement. This resulted in insights into spending. Key challenges include data being in different systems and variability in supplier names. Spend analytics tools can help address these issues by standardizing data, classifying spending, and providing reports and dashboards. When implemented properly, spend analytics has the promise of strategic sourcing insights, compliance management, and cost reductions.

Getting a Deeper Look at Your IBM® Z and IBM i Data in ServiceNowPrecisely
A well-maintained ServiceNow Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is critical for effective IT service delivery, reducing costs and increasing overall efficiency.
ServiceNow® Discovery can populate the CMDB automatically by discovering physical and virtual devices such as laptops, desktops, servers (physical and virtual), switches, routers, storage, and applications, as well as the dependent relationships between them. However, it can be hard to integrate specific resources from IBM Z and IBM i systems to get a complete, single source of truth on your entire IT infrastructure.
We have been working to integrate these platform-specific items more deeply into the CMDB to improve IT visibility, have a more complete view of your infrastructure, and reduce the risk of ineffective troubleshooting because you don’t have the view of everything you need.
Join us to learn:
Why less frequent changes on these IBM systems doesn’t mean discovery isn’t critical
What specific resources we are adding to the CMDB

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Crucial Considerations for AI-ready Data.pdfPrecisely
This document discusses the importance of ensuring data is ready for AI applications. It notes that while most businesses invest in AI, only 4% of organizations say their data is truly AI-ready. It identifies several issues that can arise from using bad data for AI, including bias, poor performance, and inaccurate predictions. The document advocates for establishing strong data governance, quality practices, and integration capabilities to address issues like completeness, validity, and bias. It provides examples of how two companies leveraged these approaches to enhance their AI and machine learning models. The document emphasizes that achieving trusted AI requires a focus on data integrity throughout the data journey from generation to activation.
Hyperautomation and AI/ML: A Strategy for Digital Transformation Success.pdfPrecisely
This document discusses how to empower businesses through worry-free data processing. Key steps include collecting and organizing relevant business data, developing efficient processes for analyzing and interpreting the data, and using insights from the data to help businesses make better decisions and improve their operations in a sustainable way over time.
It can be challenging display and share capacity data that is meaningful to end users. There is an overabundance of data points related to capacity, and the summarization of this data is difficult to construct and display.
You are already spending time and money to handle the critical need to manage systems capacity, performance and estimate future needs. Are you it spending wisely? Are you getting the level of results from your investment that you really need? Can you prove it?
The good news is that the return on investment of implementing capacity management and capacity planning is most definitely positive and provable, both in terms of tangible monetary value and in some less tangible but no-less-valuable benefits.
Join us for this webinar and learn:
• Top Trends in Capacity Management
• Common customer pain points
• Ways to demonstrate these benefits to your company

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.
ScyllaDB Real-Time Event Processing with CDCScyllaDB
ScyllaDB’s Change Data Capture (CDC) allows you to stream both the current state as well as a history of all changes made to your ScyllaDB tables.

An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.
