Most BI foundations are rooted in a pre-Internet era of computing concepts and developing too slowly to keep up with both business and technology requirements. Business intelligence (BI) is a valuable tool that has been held back by balky architecture, latency and complex data concepts that cannot be grasped by those without data management training. This white paper examines the state of business intelligence and addresses its shortcomings in order to make BI smarter, simpler, and available to everyone that needs to use it instead of just a handful of power users. Learn how to position BI to help your organization develop:

• Proactive orientation using planning and modeling
• Real-time analysis and alerts of detailed data
• Extended analysis to a wide user base
• Unified BI and operational systems
