8 Trends in BI have oscillated between reporting and analytics Analytics Reporting 1980 s 1990 s 2000 s 2010 s what happened? OLAP, ROLAP what s happening now? Visual discovery, Big Data Decision Support why did it happen? Scorecards & Dashboards what will happen next? 8

9 How did we get here anyway? 10 years ago:

10 BI becomes a part of the infrastructure

11 How did the megavendors work out? + Good data governance + Robust back- end + Scalable Architecture - Extremely IT Centric - Heavily dependent on professional services - Low User adoption!

12 Giving rise to Agile BI

13 How did Agile BI work out? + Self service + Easy to use, flexible + Fast implementation, without need for IT - No sharable biz logic; does not scale - Epidemic of departmental BI silos - No single source of the truth

14 Current Platform Models Governed: a centralized framework anchored in IT Secured Scalable Rigid Data Discovery: a distributed framework for Business Users Direct, Peripheral Access to data End user driven modeling Flexible
