Business intelligence is critical to getting answers from data, but for many users it is also a huge source of frustration. Since its beginning, the mission of BI has been to make it faster and easier to locate the right data, query it, and return meaningful answers for reporting and analysis. Newer data visualization and discovery tools have improved the user experience, and data warehouses and data lakes have added terabytes to the data within reach. Yet, it still can be a slow and difficult process to get to the most relevant data without help from technical experts. Users often have to wait for their answers and unless the technical experts also have a strong understanding of the business, the answers are usually inadequate—and the process starts all over again.

This data comes from sensors, social media feeds, traffic feeds, and much more. TDWI has seen growing interest in event stream processing as well as the real-time, continuous analysis of streaming data.
