Most business intelligence (BI) systems were initially designed to support managed forms of reporting and simple analytics. Reports in these BI systems needed to be auditable, governable, tested, required high data quality, and so on. Now, however, organizations want to do more with their BI systems than reporting.
BI systems need to support three new BI forms: self-service BI, big data combined with data science, and fast data (IoT). These three lead to three big BI dilemmas -- how do we integrate them with our existing BI systems?
In this Ask the Expert webinar, Rick van der Lans will answer your questions about how to transform your current BI system into a modern BI system. Questions can include topics related to BI architectures and systems, data strategies, products and technologies, new BI requirements, use cases, and best practices.
