BI is dead …?


BI is dead!

a. Anchor concepts in the perceived environment of the user;

b. Raw data – variation;c. Users in control instead of IT;d. BI not an end-point.

Not attractive for professionalsNo interaction


b. Raw data in-memory less sensitive to noiseAnalysis with noisy data may reveal…

Less debate about data.
