Example of BI for DHS - The Department of Homeland Security is tasked with keeping US citizens safe, and was formed in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11. The department now addresses not only matters of potential terrorism, but also election security, border security, disaster readiness, human trafficking, and cybersecurity. The ability of DHS to execute its mission is highly dependent on access to the most current data, and the use of tools that enable professionals at the department to extract trends and meaning from the data. Whether the matter is drugs, immigration, or violent extremism, the situations that DHS attempts to address evolve on a daily basis, and analysis must be ongoing, in order to present policy makers with the most current estimates of a situation, as well as to inform the public of matters pertaining to public safety. he graphic below is typical of the type of analysis DHS must produce, highlighting the growth over years of cocaine interdictions (https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2022-06/2022_0427_plcy_border_security_metrics_report_FY2021_%282020_data%29.pdf).

Fixed-Income BI Use Case - Electronic trading has risen dramatically in Fixed Income over the last couple of years. Consequently, old-style voice trading has decreased to about 50% of all Fixed Income trading. Because numerous ECNs are providing trading platforms the liquidity of bonds is readily available. Buy-side firms now have more choices when purchasing or receiving bond quotes. As such, they no longer need the one-to-one relationship with a Sell-side bank. Auto quoting of bond prices has also become a large presence in Fixed Income trading. “Black Box” pricing servers automatically generate prices and publish them to ECNs for the parties who request quotes. From the Sell-side perspective, this creates an interesting dilemma. How do you control your pricing margins, analyze client trading activities, analyze trader performance, maintain and grow revenues, and at the same time figure out why you are now losing deals...

Four Innovations in BI - Today we’re going to dive into four innovations in BI. The first is rich reporting, what is it and what’s changing. Next we’ll look at advanced visualization as a way to speed that time to insight. Third is in-memory analytics, and last is mobile BI as a way of making BI more pervasive, more accessible whenever and wherever somebody needs BI. When you consider BI innovations to evaluate or deploy in your enterprise, there are three dimensions to consider: maturity, TCO, and BI pervasiveness. When it comes to maturity, you’re talking about managing risk. You want to understand how mature the technology is. In terms of value and TCO, think about in two ways. Either the innovation will help you lower the cost to serve. This is something that is critical as IT departments are being asked to do more with less budget. So can you lower your total cost of ownership, or will that innovation speed that time to insight. So that time to insight measure is a way of helping your company or your department boost their revenues, improve customer service, or if you’re in the public sector, better serve the public at a lower cost...

Focus on Big Data by BI Vendors - There is a lot of focus on Big Data by BI vendors. So we’ll talk about how to achieve new possibilities by innovating your big data analytics. What does it mean to innovate? What does it mean to think about tomorrow? How could turn your business in a Big Data business? Let’s just say it was the Big Data Manufacturing Company or Big Data Healthcare. What will that mean to you? How do you engrain insights into your people and processes? How do you create a culture that actually uses information no matter who you are in the business? It might get talked a lot about, the fact that every individual needs different types of analytics, and getting the right information to each one of those individuals at the right time whether it's daily or hourly or weekly is the goal. How do you run a real time enterprise, and when we say a real time enterprise we don’t mean in up to the sub second enterprise because that’s not what you mean. We mean an enterprise that is state-of-the-art, that is up to date, that is meeting customer needs, that is real time when it comes to making decisions...
Four Recommendations If You Are Exploring Spatial BI or Location Intelligence - Today’s article is about spatial Business Intelligence or spatial BI. Some people refer to it today as location intelligence. In the world of business intelligence we use information to make smarter decisions. Typically we try to understand business activity dimensionally: who, what, where, when and how. Now GIS Systems or Geographic Information Systems add one more important dimension, and that’s where. It’s not just a descriptive where, but a where defined by x and y coordinates. Many people say that as many as 80 percent of all transactions are locationally based. For instance, a phone call happens between people in two locations. Transactions or sales happen in a store. Deposits happen in a bank branch. So adding location to your business intelligence can significantly aid your analysis of the business activity. Yet, these two environments, business intelligence and GIS Systems, have historically been very separate and used by different people using different systems...
