A study has identified five key trends that will impact business intelligence (BI) this year. Cloud based technologies will ensure that BI will be a less expensive proposition this year. The earlier practice of BI being divorced from its reporting tools will vanish as they will get integrated into unitary solutions. BI will be able to leverage the strength and growing ubiquity of the Internet of Things (IoT). BI will continue its rise in analysis as even more minute, granular bits of analytics will not be extracted from existing data. It is a myth that finance is the main department using BI tools, instead the others have been using and will continue to make full usage of them.
