Where BI Is Heading

Real-time business intelligence is driving the future. Charles Nicholls, CEO of SeeWhy, a software company in the UK, observes, “business users don’t want to wait for information … why should business intelligence be any different?”  This will create change within organizations to accommodate and exploit “real-time flows of business data” notes Nigel Stokes, CEO of Data Mirror Corp. of Toronto.

This is manifesting itself within the newly established moniker of ‘BI 2.0,’ described as a real-time analog to traditional BI data retrieval, manipulation and exploitation of information.  Are you ready for it?
