Those who have read my previous post announcing the new BusinessObjects "Insight Night" event at TechEd Phoenix and Vienna will know that the deadline to submit a business problem for our Demo Team to solve is [updated] October 5, 2009. For those who just want to attend and not submit a challenge, I will keep the sign up list opened until October 9th.

What can you expect to see at Insight Night if your business challenge is selected? Here's a 5-minute segment of a much larger demo created by the SAP BusinessObjects Porfolio Demo Team. It uses an Xcelsius model to show data from SAP ERP and SAP BW Infoset query to identify potential cost savings for a manufacturing customer.

(Just a quick note - the quality of demo video is bit low - most likely to speed download for all. I have submitted a request to improve the quality.)

Besides seeing a prototype solution built and demo'd for you, what else can you expect at Insight Night?

• A relaxed and social setting to learn about SAP BusinessObjects solutions and see some of these tools in action.
• A chance to meet and network with other Business Intelligence experts, such as Solutions and Product Managers.
• An opportunity to provide feedback and influence SAP BusinessObjects Community (BOC) strategy, content, and events (such as future Insight Nights).
• An assortment of pizzas, snacks, other munchies, and an open bar (shhh, not too loud).

SIGN UP HERE to attend the event and submit your business insight challenge.

See you at SAP TechEd and at Insight Night!
