22th May Breakout Session Speakers

- Name:Wim Casteur
- Title:BI Manager
- Company:Belgacom
- Topic:From IT Shadow Group to BI Competence Center
- Presentation Abstract:
With the growing popularity of BI most IT organisations have been incapable of answering the ever growing data needs of the business community. As a result of this IT shadow groups have been arising in the business to answer quickly these needs in a more pragmatic way but also causing data fragmentation. Driven by an increasing enterprise need for "one version of the truth" all BI stakeholders renew their historic bonds in a BICC where they are trying to find a common framework to meet their common objectives: find a fast & pragmatic way to deliver the "one version of the truth" to the business.
- Speaker Bio:
Since 2007, Wim Casteur leads the business intelligence competency center, a virtual team that aligns IT and Business for BI projects.

From 2000 to 2004, Mr. Casteur worked for the new BI department where the focus was on the transformation of raw data into knowledge. From 1997 to 2000, he worked on implementing the company’s first Teradata data warehouse. Mr. Casteur completed his studies in commercial sciences in Brussels before entering Belgacom in 1996.
