Global BI - Drivers and Constraints
Drivers
An increasing need for Big data analytics
- Every day, the volume of big data creation amounts to 2.4 Quintillion bytes. By 2020, the amount of data generated is expected to reach 40 ZB (Zettabyte, i.e., 270 bytes). The exponential growth of data (volume, veracity, velocity) and needs mastering analytics to derive meaningful insights
Predictive/Prescriptive Analytics Tools
- BI analysis has been enhanced through the use of predictive and prescriptive analytics tools. Forecasting, graph analysis, and complex event processing techniques are used to improve the decision-making process
Data Storytelling
- Enterprises have adopted data storytelling capabilities to improve data interpretation and business decision making from key data insights
- Automated Data Science
- BI technologies are leveraging automated data science technologies to assist enterprises with improved data categorization, segregation, sorting, analysis and reporting
Visual Analytics

Natural Language Processing boost to self-service
- NLP based search extended to text and voice analytics is starting to gain prominence facilitating topline managers to quickly input analytical queries
Constraints
Digital Ethics
Data security breaches and issues result in a significant loss for enterprises. Cloud BI tools and integration with third-party applications with a lack of secure framework may increase potential data breach opportunities
Data Governance
- With the emergence of cloud, there would be increasing cases of fragmented analytics deployments (smaller scale) driven by LOB managers as opposed to centralized IT. This can create challenges in maintaining data governance. Hence suppliers also need to focus on enhancing data audit features
High implementation cost
- Rising demand, complex programming, data integration, and growing implementation costs result in a price increase, which acts as a constraint in this market. Enterprise BI deployment and associated TCO are one of the barriers in the adoption of BI technology by enterprises though this is being mitigated by the emergence of cloud deployments
