Giving a keynote entitled "The Race to Modernize BI: What It Is and Why So Urgent?," Howes will discuss why traditional BI is poised to take a quantum leap beyond IT-dependency, traditional ETL, and static dashboards towards interactive answers that use up-to-the-minute data so companies can see "what's happening now" to compete, win, and thrive.
