Business Intelligence Solutions for Western Australian Mixed Farm Enterprises

Summary

​This project enabled a group of WA mixed farmers to meet with identified data integration (DI) and business intelligence (BI) providers in Sydney to determine the relevance of their products and services for WA mixed farming businesses.

This application will enable this BI Group to travel to Sydney to meet with providers of DI and BI technology and develop a collaborative approach to develop this technology specific to agriculture and mixed farm enterprises. A key outcome of this collaboration was to consider the possibility of a larger follow-on project in this area in collaboration with the DI/BI providers. This follow on project is not part of this project and will be subject to rigorous MLA project review and approval.

This project was discontinued due to program priorities.
