We'd like to identify roadmaps you're taking to reduce lag time to action through the use of BI, determine how far we've have come along that roadmap, quantify value received (opportunities taken), learn who, in the retail enterprise, are the primary users of BI, both now and in the months and years ahead, understand how BI is impacting processes, and how new processes are impacting the usage of BI, determine the impact of mobility on BI usage and quantify how BI helps our industry mediate between proliferating channels.
