\"Business<\/a>London-based technology analysis and news organization Computing <\/i>recently hosted an IT Leaders Forum called \u201cAssessing the Future of BI in Big Data.\u201d\u00a0 The technology leaders assembled at the forum discussed the differences between traditional business intelligence and the emerging concept of big data. BI is usually focused on analyzing historic business data.\u00a0 The main aspect that differentiates these two disciplines is that big data offers real-time or near real-time analytics that can be acted on by the business.\u00a0 BI also enables organizations to examine data in a more customer-friendly approach.<\/p>\n

Forum participants gained insight into how different entities, ranging from government agencies, restaurants, and retail chains can utilize BI to attract customers or respond to emergency situations.<\/p>\n
