Turkey is investing heavily in business intelligence. It was  SAP’s 2nd-fastest growing region worldwide last year. Nine out of the top 10 Turkish banks use BusinessObjects, and 3 out of the top 4 telecom companies.

I presented the keynote presentation at the SAP BusinessObjects BI Forum in Istanbul this morning, on the theme “The Clear Intelligence Future: Simple, Seamless, Social, and Strategic”. It covers the current trends in the analytics market, and shows off SAP BusinessObjects products and prototypes that optimize these trends.

It’s a slightly updated version of a presentation previously posted on the blog. To download the presentation in PowerPoint format, including two of the demonstrations (Explorer and Social Network Analyzer) and the Xcelsius dashboard files used, click here (28Mb).
