The Data Discovery Market Segment

What is Self-Service BI?

With their focus on IT driven standards and control, traditional Enterprise BI Platforms fail at delivering business users with

the ease of use and flexibility they require. In addition, the shift from measurement to analysis, forecasting and optimization

is in favor of the new Data Discovery (aka Self-Service BI) tools.

Traditional Enterprise BI Platforms Data Discovery Platforms

Key buyers* IT Business

Approach* Top down, IT modeled (semantic layers),

query existing repositories

Bottom up, business user driven, move

data into dedicated repository

User

interface*

Report/key performance indicator (KPI),

dashboard/grid

Visualization & data exploration

Use case* Monitoring, reporting Analysis

Deployment* Consultants Business users

Focus Standards and control, several tools

(separate design-time/run-time

experience)

Ease of use and flexibility, one tool

(merged design-time/run-time experience),

shorter time to value
