3rd-Generation BI: Unlocking All the Possibility in Your Data
Data has always held tremendous value. But for decades, most of that value has been left on the table. Complexity, technical limits, bottlenecks, and skill gaps have kept insights hidden and analytics out of the hands of business users. With the 3rd generation of BI, that's about to change.
