2. The Challenge

3. State Of The BI Industry? Agile BI Out of The Box, Forrester Research, Inc., April 22, 2010 Only 28% of potential BI users have any meaningful access Knowledge workers spend too much time looking for, not enough time analyzing the information. 32% of Excel users are comfortable with using it for “Advanced Analysis” e.g., PivotTables Lines between producers and consumers of information have largely disappeared. 31% of all BI initiatives partially meet or don’t meet the business goals originally set Requirements change way too fast for IT and traditional technology to keep up.
