Each to the end of the year, many enterprises have started a New Year for the deployment of BI analysis to make plans, but interestingly, many plan sounds are the same as last year.
The conclusion from Gartner "BI technology maturity curve report. In this report, analysts and researchers to choose the most popular and the most practical BI technology, through the chart way using time dots and their maturity peak and valley value.
Gartner research vice President and the analysis of the report in Andreas Bitterer said: "this is a broad overview of the whole BI situation, is also a measure of enterprise project reference."
Because the report was released in a few months ago, so analysts provide a lot about industry session change when in point of view. And last year's technology and the maturity curve comparison, we found that this year's mobile BI developing rapidly; In addition, Gartner new two projects: one is about the concept of data management framework, Gartner called logical type data warehouse, and still another is information ability framework, and enterprise data structure array relevant.
Even if new two items are not from the years BI analysis of key problems, how to effectively manage data and how to keep the consistency in the enterprise.
Bitterer found enterprise in the information ability concept framework of interest enhancement; However, although the enterprise to BI process is very familiar, in the development process of the semantic model still suffer defeat. If there is no industry general precise terms, the enterprise even in specific definition such as customers, products or supplier this kind of simple name when they meet with difficulties, let alone measuring financial indicators and create the related reports.
Bitterer said: "enterprise in understanding the meaning of data when often go to the wall, but as a result of consistency and management problem is around the corner, and they have to understand data. For enterprise speaking, it is very painful, but it is caused by the current of time."
Actually, language analysis is not particularly fire this year. Some in the 2012 technology maturity curve vision emerging technology and did not provide a new technical ability, but more attention in semantic innovation and the perception of information.
For semantic exhausted to demand of enterprise dialogue, for BI platform definition term, creating vocabulary. However, this is an easier said than done difficult vast engineering. Many enterprises are faced with the problem cannot be carding, they don't know where to start, more not sure that through the technology can solve these problems.
At the same time, enterprises need to undertake administrative, this problem is enough to cause each independent department's turmoil, after all, they have become accustomed to a certain way of working.
Even so, Bitterer still said: "there is no other choice, we must get out of the step."
The development of BI four big trend
The development trend of the next year for BI, Gartner report gives the four words: information, mobile, social and cloud computing.
Bitterer pointed out that, at first glance these four words will feel too one-sided and plain, information management, mobile BI, social media analysis and cloud computing are commonplace, but the enterprise biggest challenge is regularity, more important is BI analysis field of rate of change.
Get information for example, it always is the mainstay of BI analysis project, but in this year's technology and the maturity curve, the information is no longer past type (such as trade, products or sales data, etc.), but the data show the new challenges, such as sensors, seismology, meteorology and data transmission speed, the new information source.
"This is what people say big data, you have to deal with is not only the internal database data, including many external data."
Social and cloud computing technology discussion degree is high, but the deployment of rate is very low. Although a lot of like MicroStrategy such companies are in the promotion of cloud computing BI, but the real implementation of the enterprise is very few, this is because most of the enterprise is still in a trust, technicalization and legalization of wait-and-see period. In addition, a business enterprise to keep on a question of social media public opinion analysis value, but in order to let oneself not to fall behind, they did not reject such technology.
