Key Findings from the 2017 BI and Analytics MQMagic Quadrant (Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms)
“The BI and analytics
platform market's multiyear
shift from IT-led enterprise
reporting to business-led
self-service analytics has
passed the tipping point.”
Modern BI Platform Definition
“A modern BI platform supports IT-enabled analytic content development.
It is defined by a self-contained architecture that enables nontechnical users to
autonomously execute full-spectrum analytic workflows from data access, ingestion
and preparation to interactive analysis, and the collaborative sharing of insights.
By contrast, traditional BI platforms are designed to support modular development of
IT-produced analytic content, specialized tools and skills, and significant upfront data
modeling, coupled with a predefined metadata layer, is required to access their
analytic capabilities.”
