The ability for cloud data warehouses to provide a single platform that enables organizations to analyze data at any scale is a market changing capability. Sure, much has been made of the ability of applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to this data to gain insight into new areas, ultimately to increase an organization’s competitiveness. There is however a greater level of impact that this architecture can have that can be independent of AI and ultimately inclusive of AI.

When it comes to automation in the BI industry, I think a lot of vendors are holding back.

The ego falls away. Time flies.

I recently became a new mom, and like many others, there are many frustrating moments for me, big and small. Stepping into a whole new world of products that I’m not aware of ever existed, playing the guessing game on what size anything my baby will need and for how long, and that late-night diaper run to the store, just to name a few. As a consumer, I’m confused, time-strangled and desperately looking for ways to simplify my shopping experiences, both online and offline.

Innovation in the BI industry died about 30 years ago. Sure the colors and format may be different but what’s delivered to business users is exactly the same and that's a real problem. I think this is because the industry spends more time thinking about how to make a data analyst’s life easier rather than helping business users get the most value from their data.
