What Is the Future of Business Intelligence?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the keeping-track-of-the-cash-flow dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "Mitch Betts asked this question to many technology leaders in the field of business intelligence. Here is one selected prediction. 'In five years, 100 million people will be using an information-visualization tool on a near-daily basis. And products that have visualization as one of their top three features will earn $1 billion per year,' says Ramana Rao, founder and chief technology officer, Inxight Software Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif. Check this column for more forecasts and an update on the adoption of so-called 'executive dashboards.' You also can read the original Computerworld article for even more information."

    Review:

    Woo-hoo!

    The shere quality of this game proves that we are up to the task ahead of us boys! If we got the brains to make these fancy computer games then we are just a step away from the revolution! I didn't think we had no educated boys with us, but damn was I wrong! And if we don't get em with our superior programming abilities, our creativity will!

    Only problem is that other guy was right, the niggers do keep winning. Caint we make it easier?

    Heil Hitler!

    Long live the white man!
