In many ways small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) have greater opportunity when using BI. Yes, budgets and resources may be more limited, but most SMBs are not as constricted by robust IT infrastructures that control BI access and use like their enterprise counterparts. Consequently, many SMBs are empowered through their BI applications by being able to take advantage of interactive technologies without the limitations associated with large-scale enterprise wide IT infrastructures. Part of this includes the way in which BI is being deployed to reach a wider audience and to make its use more consumable to more people both internally and externally to the organization.

Achieving Greater Agility with Business Intelligence and Analytics

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.
