Following up on last year's presentation "The Missing Piece of the Profit

Economy," Dr. Allis will discuss how to move beyond the "Big Data" headline to

achieve real business value with "Big Calculations" in his presentation,

"Calculated Decisions: The key to solving the efficiency puzzle." The

presentation will offer a perspective and roadmap for increasing speed,

efficiency, and competitiveness by activating data; it will take place on

Tuesday, May 20 at 11:15 a.m. MT in the Grand Canyon 8 ballroom. Following the

presentation, Dr. Allis will be available for one-on-one discussions.

"The biggest 'Big Data' myth is that it is all about the data," said Dr. Allis.

"Big Calculations unlock the value of data and enable a company to optimize. I

look forward to sharing our views on the 'data value spectrum,' and I will

reveal the steps to activate the potential of data as well as discuss our

customers' experiences."

The Gartner Supply Chain Executive Conference, May 20-22, is a gathering of the

event, and experts will be available at booth 110 to discuss supply chain

challenges in detail and demonstrate the efficacy of the Quintiq software

platform.
