Business Intelligence
Intelligence-driven Efficiency and Business Development
It's no coincidence that the smartest run businesses today also boast a strong IT competency in business intelligence (BI). BI is helping organizations of all shapes and sizes to not only ride out the recession but also position themselves strongly when a recovery happens. Strong demand and growth is being driven by enterprises' need to maximise cost savings, identify revenue opportunities, mitigate risk and align business performance across all major industry sectors. Often the companies that react quickest to threats and opportunities are the ones that make it to the front page of Forbes magazine. Hence it should come as no surprise that BI continues to top the list of corporate IT spending priorities.

Business Process Management & Service Oriented Architecture
Retaining the relevance of BPM and SOA in an Enterprise 2.0 world
The latter half of the ‘noughties’ witnessed a number of new IT initiatives (and new variations on old initiatives) that deflected business focus away from strategic investments in SOA and BPM (although small-scale tactical deployments have
continued to increase). In particular the Web 2.0 experience of informal collaboration has found its way into the corporate mindset, raising the awareness of the importance of providing technology that will assist in enabling internal collaboration and collaboration between the organisation and its customers and partners. This is starting to redefine the strategic thinking within organisations towards ‘Enterprise 2.0’. At the same time the very fundamental aspects of IT ownership are being challenged by the promised cost-effectiveness of Software as a Service and Cloud computing. Further initiatives such as the need to process in-stream data (rather than data captured in databases) have promised a new type of real-time intelligent application, and the relentless progress towards affordable ‘always on’ connectivity through an expanded range of client devices is likely to change current usage profiles beyond any expectations the industry had just a few years ago.
