Biting the hand that feeds IT

Born again Business Intelligence

Are you ready to try it again?

Reg Reader Studies Business Intelligence (BI) was one of those hot areas in the 90s that dominated the headlines for a while. Then it went all quiet – until recently.

With mantras like "a dashboard on every desktop", BI appears to be going through somewhat of a revival, at least if you take the enthusiasm of vendors as a measure.

But are customers really ready for the "democratisation of BI"? Or is business intelligence, like the key to the executive bathroom, something that should be kept to the inner circle.

As a Reg Reader, you are part of the largest and most powerful panel of IT professional opinion in the industry, so if you have a view on what's going with BI, you can make your opinion really count.
