Phocas<\/a> is back, with part two in a three-part series highlighting the past<\/a>, present and future in Business Intelligence. According to the software provider, people have a long history of using data to make informed decisions, and it appears as though this trend is going to expand exponentially in the years ahead if recent market studies<\/a> are any indication. The use of data to generate business insights is now so prevalent that those organizations who do not currently employ analytics are at a stark disadvantage.<\/p>\n

Modern-day Business Intelligence tools are largely dominated by self-service capabilities, providing a wide audience of users the appropriate features they need to get their jobs done. This is a complete contrast from the past where software solutions were dominated by advanced functionality that only the very few technical users could understand. The result, as Phocas<\/a> explains, is end-users making more informed decisions, and benefiting the business as a whole.<\/p>\n
