IBIS 2010 Surfs and Serves Some Cool BI |
Hands-on immersion training can be tough but when your classroom
looks out on to the Pacific Ocean of Southern California, and during the breaks
you can walk out on to the balcony and watch surfers riding the waves, it’s not
so bad.
This year’s InfoSol Business Intelligence Seminar (IBIS) was packed with high
quality, in-depth boot camps and seminars covering Xcelsius, Web Intelligence,
Crystal Reports, Data Services, BO XI 3.1 Administration and lots more. It was
also located at the beautiful Ritz Carlton, Dana Point on a bluff overlooking
the Pacific Ocean which was the perfect remedy after a day of absorbing tons of
knowledge.
The Welcome Reception on Sunday night, entitled “Seeing Beyond Business
Intelligence” was set in the Solutions Showcase where sponsors demonstrated and
discussed some of their latest business intelligence solutions.
I delivered the keynote the following morning on the same
“Seeing Beyond” theme and highlighted some interesting business intelligence
customer case studies. The keynote on the Tuesday from Santiago Becerra, CEO of
Mellmo, was quite fascinating as he took the audience through “the Evolution of
Think” and cleverly demonstrated how putting fun into regular tasks can change
people’s habits as well as their adoption of solutions. Showing Roambi, the
latest business intelligence solution for the iPad, really brought the point
home well.
The 2010 Best Xcelsius Awards (see previous Blog) demonstrated how far many
companies have come in applying Xcelsius in very complex and powerful
applications and inspired many others to go even further, so I would definitely
watch out for next year’s awards.

3. Tips and
Tricks

Xcelsius Q&A
QUESTION:
What are the new charting enhancements with Xcelsius SP3?
ANSWER:
Charting in Xcelsius has
become more flexible and dynamic with Xcelsius SP3. It allows us to do dynamic
series selection and focus on a small range of values using char range slider.

Crystal Reports Q&A
QUESTION:
I often need to display Boolean data on my reports, but am looking at
other ways to represent this other than just “True” or “False.” Is it possible
to do this – for example, could it be set up to display check boxes instead?
ANSWER:
Yes, it is often required to
display Boolean values on a Crystal Report, and it is reasonably
straightforward to provide a more intuitive display, such as check boxes either
checked or unchecked, rather than the standard “True/False” rendering.
