Business Intelligence: Making spatial information work for you

Western Australian Land Information System (WALIS), in conjunction with the Australian Computer Society, is pleased to announce it will host a half-day forum scheduled for March 2009 in Perth, especially designed to cater for Chief Information Officers.

Peter Batty, an industry leader in the rapidly growing field of geospatial and location technologies will be the Forum's Keynote Speaker. Peter has served as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at two of the industry's leading companies (Intergraph and Smallworld, now part of GE) as well as a cutting edge startup (Ten Sails, now Ubisense).

Why should you register?

Business Intelligence essentially means applying intelligent use of data in decision making in order to increase the competitive advantage of a business.

Companies use Business Intelligence to enhance their performance in decision making, cost cutting and identifying new business opportunities. CIOs can use Business Intelligence to identify inefficient business processes that are ready for re-engineering. [more]
