The lines used to define solution categories in the enterprise are beginning to blur. Technologies once considered staples in business intelligence and data analytics software are no longer adequate in the age of big data. As a result, the solution providers have had to shift their focus and develop tools that meet the needs of organizations dealing with increasingly large data volumes.<\/p>\n

Cue the process of seeking out, evaluating, choosing, purchasing, and deploying a BI solution. There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to business intelligence. Solutions come in a variety of flavors\u2014ranging from reporting and data visualization to predictive and advanced analytics, and now, all the way to data science and machine learning. Each features a particular set of capabilities, strengths, and drawbacks. Choosing the right vendor and solution is a complicated process\u2014one that requires in-depth research and often comes down to more than just the solution and its technical capabilities.<\/p>\n
