Although SQL may have lost some of its
sexiness, it's still as essential as it's ever been. True, NoSQL,
Hadoop, and other non-traditional technologies are gaining ground,
but not necessarily at the expense of SQL. In fact, these
technologies have been able to gain ground, but it's because they've
borrowed from SQL, typically as a front-end or interface.

Delivering value sooner and being
adaptable to business change are two of the most important
objectives today in developing and deploying business intelligence
(BI) and analytics. Organizations are under pressure to adjust
strategies and tactics to fast-changing markets and economic
situations, and they are depending on BI and analytics to help them
make good decisions. In addition, as more users are exposed to BI
and analytics tools, the more they want in terms of functionality,
data access, and other capabilities. IT organizations, used to long
"waterfall" development cycles, are struggling to keep up -- and are
hearing loud and clear from users that they want an end to the
frustration. |

For those of us in IT and especially BI,
there's nothing more exciting than seeing practices and technologies
come together in a new combination, to support enterprise business
in a new way. At the moment, we are seeing such a confluence of
practices and technologies for real time, analytics, big data, and
in-memory processing. The combination enables more organizations to
credibly address time-sensitive business processes that involve big
data and benefit from analytics.
