applications, infrastructure and tools, and best practices that enable access
to and analysis of information to improve and optimize decisions and
performance.”

architectures and tools that transforms raw data (often complex and
voluminous) into actionable decision support information by
presenting it in a concise, visually appealing, and insightful format”

business functions
Competing, siloed and conflicting
BI platforms
IT did not deliver what business needed - requirement gaps,
business changed during implementation
Business users don’t have the skillset and time
to effectively build and maintain reports
BI Roadmap and alignment
with Business objectives not fully defined

8. Enterprises are reducing IT interaction and
shifting to enable business users to create BI
Reduce time & spend,
Increase relevance of the output
Select technologies that allow powerful visualization
on smaller datasetsand limit manual datamodeling.
Enable a single person to create BI
from end to end (business requirement to delivery)
The emerging technologies for business people to work with
are ramping up their enterprise capabilities (e.g. security)
