All walks of tablet devices.
In response to an offline feedback.
I actually have a vision that every person sees the first daily BI report on a given business day using a tablet device, whatever BI tools or software she/he uses.
The introduction of IBM Cognos TM1 to our toolkit for modeling in memory. The power of a read/write multi-dimensional data model provides us with a way to view and analyze data AND the make decisions.
Thanks for asking, Leo
The "democratization" of BI - opening up business intelligence to a broader audience (everyone making daily decisions rather than only business analysts) by:
- using intuitive interfaces to make it easy to interact with and consume relevant information and associated analytics to help people make better decisions more quickly;
- making information access ubiquitous via cloud and mobile applications;
- making it cost-effective to deploy to large numbers of users;
- making it affordable for the mid-market.
The most exciting development we saw was the market shift to embrace better approaches to BI, moving beyond traditional cubes and schemas for greater self-service and user empowerment. Several analysts have documented this shift and how customers are rethinking what they want from a BI solution. Here are two examples: a recent Aberdeen webcast with Macys.com: http://bit.ly/eq2PUw, and Howard Dresner’s Wisdom of Crowds BI Market study: http://bit.ly/dUXjpI.
Collaborative and Social BI
I like the replies already posted that focus on the advancements toward more pervasive BI (greater self-service, democratization, etc.). During 2010, we've seen a meaningful increase in the rise of modern, web-based applications that embed or conjoin sophisticated analytics alongside the core application . . . which may well be the best way to reach many more business users with insightful reporting and analysis.
Admittedly, I've written more about this topic here: http://bit.ly/dY2QjQ
