BI is Growing UP

Organizations that use Bi show increased level of maturity- up 5.7 percent from 2009 but there’s still far to go, according to the this year’s BI maturity survey from Forrester Research.
For “BI Maturity in The Enterprise: 2010 Update” Forrester surveyed only 173(of course out of thousand) technology professionals familiar with the respective organization’s BI efforts.
Compared with the previous year, 2010 findings show fewer organizations centralizing BI, with 43 percent employing agile BI and BI self –service, and 38 percent using centralization and consolidation. Forrester also found only 35 percent of organizations are employing pervasive Bi, which is defined as enterprise BI applications being available to most strategic and operation decision makers.
BI talent and skill acquisition also leave much room for improvement, with 46 of respondents in this Forrester study expressing dissatisfaction with procedures to hire, train and retain skilled BI staff.
“Traditional BI approaches, processes, technologies and architectures are no longer enough to continue to drive higher level of BI adoption and increase BI maturity in enterprise,” says Forrester Research Analysts. “New approaches such as agile BI and BI self-service by the business users are needed to supplement traditional BI.”
