Manufacturing Business Technology wrote about “real world” BI acceptance as not matching predictions of think tanks and vendors.

Continuing with my comments on Manufacturing Business Technology’s article on BI hype, I can’t help but reveal what I think is the source of this skewering of BI vendors: an “ax to grind”.

This is because BI deals with centralizing information control that has been decentralized by department (silos) and many […]
Business Intelligence (BI) is experiencing a resurgence, in the media at least, along with associated applications like Sales and Operations Planning (SOP).
