Agenda
Topics and Speakers
AI can eliminate conscious and unconscious biases in planning and analysis
“Your management expects more accurate forecasts and reports in less time. Until now, it has been almost impossible to process data as quickly as the market changes and gain actionable insights from it in a timely manner. With AI, conscious and unconscious biases in planning and analysis can be eliminated. Complex data is summarized in the blink of an eye, allowing users to make more informed decisions. At the same time, teams need to optimize resources to become more efficient. Transparent machine learning algorithms quickly identify the key internal and external drivers of your business performance. Practical AI solutions facilitate collaboration across business units, freeing up analysts for more value-adding tasks.”
Dr. Rolf Gegenmantel, Chief Product Officer, Jedox
"Data is the fuel of AI" - How to bring on-premise data to Microsoft Fabric easily
“In this session, we will look at the critical role that data plays in the development of AI and how organizations can seamlessly move their on-premise data into Microsoft Fabric. As data becomes the cornerstone of AI-driven insights, a robust and efficient strategy for data migration and integration is essential.”
Gellert Gintli, Cloud Solution Architect | Data & AI, Microsoft

IBCS and ISO 24896 - Notation standards for reports and their automation
I would like to introduce you to the process "From Data to Reports to Decisions," which focuses on transforming data into understandable and actionable information that supports strategic and operational decisions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in this, offering immense opportunities for the automation of tasks across various fields. AI also helps in recognizing patterns and making predictions. For the automated generation of consistently designed reports, a semantic notation is required that assigns meaning to visual representations. An international standard, ISO 24896, is currently being developed based on the proposals from the IBCS Association.
Dr. Jürgen Faisst, CEO and Co-Founder of the IBCS Institute
Qlik Talend: Clean data for a clear future
“Data is now one of companies' most valuable resources: those who use their data effectively have a clear competitive advantage. We will discuss various methods of data analysis, including statistical analysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence. We also show how Talend helps to perform these analyses seamlessly and gain valuable insights from the data. Data quality is also an important topic, as data quality has become a critical factor for the success of any organization. Talend offers powerful tools and solutions to ensure that data is accurate, consistent and trustworthy. We show how Talend can identify, cleanse and prevent data quality issues.”
Steffen Bischoff, Talend, Master Principal Solutions Engineer
Companies will use AI - it's not a question of whether, but when.
The BARC study “The Future of BI & Analytics: Adopting Generative AI for Analytics” examines the early trends, experiences and best practices in the integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the areas of business intelligence and analytics. “My recommendation based on the results of the study: get started with a cool head and learn from the pioneers."
Alexander Seeliger, Analyst Data & Analytics / Data Scientist BARC - Business Application Research Center
Use Case: Soluvia Energy Services: "Elbrus goes Power BI"
"Soluvia Energy Services GmbH (SES) presents the Elbrus Report Sales project. SES measures key areas along the energy industry value chain on a monthly basis.

AI - the evolution of data
"In this session, we will dive deep into the most exciting topics in the world of AI! After a brief introduction to AI readiness, we'll get straight to the really important questions: How do you master the challenges of unstructured and structured data in AI? We will show you how to prepare your data perfectly for AI and integrate it using state-of-the-art technologies such as Lakehouse, Data Lakes and APIs. You will also learn why data quality is the key to success. Finally, we will put theory into practice and present a fascinating AI use case that can transform your business."
Ben Gnädig, Lead Consultant Data & Cloud und Maximilian Kuhn, KI Consulting Engineer HICO-Group
Are you ready for AI?
“In this in-depth session, which follows the session “AI - The Data Evolution”, we will look at the topic of “AI Readiness”. As AI is now also gaining relevance in the corporate context, the question arises whether companies are ready to implement AI or whether improvements need to be made to be “AI-Ready”. As part of my Master's thesis, which I am writing on AI Readiness and AI Maturity, I present the preliminary results of my research here. We will show you which dimensions in the areas of technology, organization and environment need to be considered in order to analyze the AI readiness of your company. You will learn why, in addition to considering data quality and availability, topics such as corporate strategy and culture as well as regulatory requirements must also be considered in relation to AI.”
Melanie Kloppenburg, KI Consultant HICO-Group

What can the Microsoft Data Fabric do?
"Microsoft's Data Fabric is a comprehensive platform from Microsoft designed to help organizations effectively manage, analyze and derive insights from their data. This platform integrates various tools, services and technologies that cover the entire data lifecycle. Microsoft Data Fabric enables organizations to capture, store and process large volumes of data. The platform enables data to be integrated from multiple sources, such as databases, cloud storage, IoT devices and more. This allows companies to get a comprehensive view of their data and see connections that help them make better decisions. One of the key strengths of Microsoft Data Fabric is its scalability. Companies can customize the platform according to their growing data requirements and easily process large volumes of data. This enables efficient data analysis and opens up opportunities for real-time analytics, where companies can respond quickly to changes and trends. Microsoft Data Fabric also offers advanced analytics capabilities, including machine learning, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics. These capabilities allow companies to build complex models to gain insights from their data, identify trends and predict future developments. This enables them to make data-driven decisions and optimize their business processes."

How Customer Centricity is measured with the NPS
"Customer Centricity is a strategic approach where companies put the customer at the center of their business activities. It is about understanding customer needs and expectations, improving their experience and offering products or services that meet their requirements. Companies can thus achieve differentiated positioning. Customer Centricity also involves actively listening to and incorporating customer feedback. To this end, we use the Net Promoter Score NPS, which provides measurable customer feedback in response to the question: would you recommend us to your best friend? By responding to and using customer feedback to continuously improve their products, services and processes, companies can drive innovation. Customers become valuable sources of ideas and suggestions, leading to a better customer experience and increased competitiveness. Customer Centricity is our philosophy and the foundation of our value framework, NPS our measurement method."
Bastian Lossen, CCO HICO Group
