Summary

With ballooning (big) data sources, a need to mine more valuable nuggets from this data, pressure to deliver insights more frequently, and stakeholders that you need to "wow" with deliverables, market insights professionals have reached a tipping point: Manual and basic tools — such as Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint — will not allow them to evolve to a higher state of value-add. To progress, market insights professionals need better software tools.
