How Web and Mobile Applications Can Enhance Your Company’s Data Experience
Thursday Nov 17, 2022
Thursday Nov 17, 2022
We all can agree that web and mobile applications offer a great way to automate business processes. However, there is another important value that can be gleaned from the app, and it's arguably just as important - the data.
And beyond just collecting data on an app, have you considered using the app as a way of sharing data? Presenting analytics insights via expensive reporting tools is not always the right solution. Modern options have arisen that allow you to access your data in the places it makes the most sense (aka NOT in a password-protected dashboard).
So - soup to nuts business process automation and business performance observation, all from your application. A lovely use of the technology and tools at hand. But - how do you make that happen?
Join this informative session to learn how best-in-class apps blend intention and intuition to automate the front-end business needs, collect the right data at the right time, and offer up a natural integration of the 'analytics last mile'.
We will explore:
- Data-Specific Use Cases for UI
- Designing for the Right End User (Effective Design Features by Persona)
- Solutions for Embedded Analytics

The Truth About Poor Dashboard Adoption — Hint: It’s Not Your Software

Monday Oct 03, 2022
Let us know if this sounds familiar:
A company invests in a great new piece of data analytics technology and spends time and resources getting it set up. A roll out ensues and then... nothing.

Turns out, data analytics professionals have more power to change this than they may think. Join our conversation with special guest Lee Feinberg as he shares practical advice on how to use data to tell stories that get business users engaged.
