Getting the Gold: Profitable BI on a Budget

Presentation Summary

Imagine you own a gold mine. The extraction process is so expensive that you lose money every time you attempt to capitalize on it. Data is our gold. The cost of ETLing, mining, querying, visualizing, and distributing doesn’t have to outweigh the benefit of the results. Join two IT professionals from institutions in the Utah System of Higher Ed as they describe their approach to lean business-intelligence initiatives. The discussion will range from low-cost ETL to a state-shared Tableau-server instance. Come glean from lessons learned, and avoid some false starts when going lean.
