\"8<\/p>\n

The analytics and business intelligence marketplace is as crowded as ever. The scope of what constitutes analytics software is a bit blurry, and this makes selecting the best possible BI tool a daunting task. Modern tools encompass much more than legacy reporting, with capabilities ranging from data integration and data preparation to data quality, governance, and even machine learning. Advanced data visualization and cloud connectivity are the new normal for BI and analytics in the current environment, and augmented analytics<\/a> is soon set to be the industry standard.<\/p>\n

In that spirit, we\u2019ve turned our gaze to the future of business intelligence software. Whether it’s the release of an innovative new product, a bump in venture capital, or inclusion in one of the top analyst reports, these are the providers that have earned watch list status from Solutions Review for the year ahead.\u00a0The vendors are listed in alphabetical order and have specific areas of expertise.<\/p>\n
