2013 Informer BI Use Case Awards

We’re gearing up here at Entrinsik for the always exciting Informer BI Use Case Awards held each year at our Informer User Conference (ICON). The awards provide a way for Entrinsik to recognize organizations that demonstrate the unique and successful ways that they have applied the power of Informer to improve operational efficiency.

“Recent research shows that one of the fastest growing areas in business intelligence (BI) is in its use for managing and optimizing daily business operations – from human resources and benefits to inventory, purchasing and finance,” says Sharon Shelton, VP Marketing at Entrinsik. “We are delighted to recognize the innovation, creativity, and hard work demonstrated by our customers.”

Ten winners will be chosen based on best award submissions and will be announced on October 1, 2013, during the Informer User Conference. Submissions are due by August 2, 2013, and winners will be notified by August 16th in order to prepare a short 15 minute presentation to be given at the conference. Those award winners who are unable to attend the conference will be asked to co-present on a live webinar. The submission form, along with prizes and other information can be found at www.entrinsik.com/bi-awards.
ICON 2013 and this year’s BI Awards are looking to be the best yet – if you’re an Informer user (or even if you’re not), register for the conference here to reserve your spot. Winners of the BI Awards receive some great prizes, and of course bragging rights, so do not let your organization miss out!

Informer helps organizations do just that, and we are excited to work with Pick Cloud to further expand these capabilities into the MultiValue market.”
