More corporations are embracing and implementing social strategies across the organizations. As a result, business intelligence departments are exploring this new medium to see how social communication practices can augment their efforts. More specifically they are looking to understand how a “social layer” within an organization can help a corporation collect important business-impact data that supports better decision-making throughout the enterprise.

Our event’s speakers, bringing years of combined business intelligence, technology and social strategies, will:

· Provide an overview of social strategies and their ability to yield structured and unstructured data critical to excelling in today’s business environment.

· Discuss the combination of social computing concepts with business intelligence capabilities in order to develop an effective social intelligence program within an organization

· Tag social intelligence to CRM data for a three-dimensional view of customer decision-making process.

· Share the business intelligence data obtained during a recent social audit.

THEN, we're going to cut loose for Christmas in July Happy Hour!
