Mashup - The Newest Dance Craze?
Details
Hi All! I am excited to announce that Shish Shridhar, Retail Industry Solutions Director from Microsoft is going to present this month on:
Analyzing Correlations between Sales, Marketing and Demographic Data
One of the biggest challenges that retailers faces is the ability to quickly analyze and understand differences in sales and campaign performance across stores and geographies. Factoring in external influencers such as demographic data for the surrounding area of the store, weather data, social media data, and competitor data enables business to get more insights, correlation and causation data to determine corrective action. This discussion focuses on how business can connect to, mash-up and analyze all these data sources with minimal or no IT intervention.

Depending on the RSVP's we might have to move venues, but I would love to try to make The Upstairs work, as I think it is a cool place to meet and drinks are not that expensive ;-) If you have any suggestions, please share. We need something with a projector.
