Webinar: Applications of Business Intelligence

Thanks for your interest in our webinar about the Applications of Business Intelligence.

Date: Wednesday 14 June
Time: 12pm to 12.30pm

This online event is an opportunity to learn about how Business Intelligence solutions can be used in many areas including healthcare, retail, transport, and logistics.

We’ll look at how Business Intelligence is used in a range of sectors:

Health: We’ll take you through HealthOne, a new data-centric approach to patient management that is reducing acute medical admission rates and improving health outcomes.

Sport: Which Rugby player would you want on your team? How do the players selected for your team stack up against the opposition? Data can help make decisions and predict the result of matches.

Transport: Transport operators use data on road and traffic conditions to optimise their operations and routes. Operators can determine the best route for pick-up and delivery given the traffic conditions, road repair work and volumes to be collected.

Finance: Data enables us to automate the loan eligibility process in real time based on the details customers provide while filling out an online application form. 

Retail: It’s possible to use data to predict how successful a daily deal will be based on location, price, and type of deal.
