BI and Performance Management : Smarter Faster Decisions
Better decisions, faster. That is the most important reason cited by CIOs for investing in BI today*
Yet the biggest problem IT still faces is how to make BI more pervasive and to increase adoption among business users. This shows that investments in BI are not reaching key business users and helping them better measure and manage their performance.
The past year has seen significant changes in the BI market, with BI pure-play vendors acquiring technology and analytic application vendors while the mega-vendors have been increasing their footprint across the whole BI and performance management spectrum. So while CIOs are struggling to deploy BI to a wider business audience, the never-ending round of acquisitions threatens to disrupt their carefully planned BI strategy.
Meanwhile, the convergence of structured and unstructured data, the introduction of search technology, the delivery of BI "as a service", data-warehouse appliances, open-source technology and new 64-bit architectures are all impacting today's BI environments.
