Business Intelligence Trends As We See Them Happening: Part 2
In the first installment of our blog dedicated to emerging business intelligence trends, we focused on mobile analytics and analytic processing. We looked at how in-memory functions is already gaining widespread use and will intensely proliferate by 2014. We also briefly investigated the need for intuitive, understandable user-end, customer-oriented applications that puts business intelligence software in the hands of the wider public.
In this installment we’ll take a peek at where companies will go to buy business intelligence and what shape BI will be taking in relation to social networking.
Software Vendors or Systems Integration?
Within the next few years, nearly half of all spending on business analytics will go toward systems integrators as opposed to software vendors. This is basically due to predictable consumer demand which says that users will want to integrate external content into business intelligence. Companies should educate users about software v. services and solutions purchases. Among the criteria considered by business intelligence and analytics purchasers, service providers should be taken into account, based on their industry expertise.
Business Intelligence, Social Software and Collaboration
Collaboration and social networking will merge as result of the need to streamline information gleaned from these formerly distinct environments in relation to business intelligence. When we take this in tandem with the trend toward systems integrators making more sense for businesses, we begin to see an analytics net cast farther and wider with the ability to process more information more efficiently.
