Predictions 2015: Agile Features Keep The Business Intelligence Market Moving

As Forrester continues to write about Agile business intelligence (BI), where organizations of all sizes need to revamp their data management environments for agility, flexibility, and responsiveness to address ever-changing customer expectations, the BI market itself is changing at a whirlwind speed. Application development and delivery (AD&D) pros who are just starting on a journey to evaluate and adapt BI technologies like in-memory, cloud, mobile, big data and others, are behind the times, as their peers and competitors already reap multiple business benefits running the latest and greatest technologies in production. The BI market is a runaway locomotive, where new technologies and trends pop up on a weekly basis. AD&D professionals working on BI initiatives should leverage Forrester predictions on BI to watch and act on during the next year to avoid being paralyzed and frozen in inflexible BI architectures and processes. In a separate report, we outlined our 2015 predictions for the convergence of BI and big data and suggest that AD&D pros read and use both reports in conjunction.
