Clouds and Mobile Devices Are The Trends For BI In '13

By Jeff Sanders


The Business Intelligence sector has been getting a lot of attention in recent times. With SAP leading the Mobile BI market and other giants like IBM, Oracle and SAS trying to catch up with it, the Business Intelligence niche has experienced vast improvements in a short amount of time. If you have pondered stopping your Oracle Business Intelligence training courses and focusing on the newer S AP BI offerings, slow down, take a deep breath and read on. Trends so far in 2013, dictate that Oracle is going to be a major player in the BI market.

Business Intelligence in a Cloud

It has been said many times recently, that Cloud technology is where IT is heading, giving Oracle a strategic advantage. Recently, Oracle launched a new data center in Australia to cater to its Australian clients. Cloud serving is by far the most preferred amongst the Australian companies there, based on feedback given. Why not? Of course cloud computing is preferred, because it takes a lot of the burden of the in-house IT staff.

Analytics Set to Boom

Metric reporting is a natural extension to BI. Analytical reporting is the concrete foundation of BI. It has yet to become very popular, probably because companies are slow to trust their most important decisions solely on that. Slowly, with enough time to understand the power of analytics, businesses are starting to come around. Based on this, experts are confident to see a large increase in analytics usage throughout 2013.

Mobile BI

Mobile device usage for business purposes has been on the rise with Apple's iPad leading the gadgets race. So it's not surprising, that Business Intelligence for mobile is picking up the pace. Oracle has fallen behind SAP in this industry. SAP has infused innovation and practicality into their mobile BI, while Oracle slowly comes around there. However, Oracle and other major players are competing with SAP as Mobile BI will be extensively adopted and implemented in 2013.
