When most people think of Business Intelligence, they think of dashboards. But despite the fact that dashboards are the default approach to BI, there’s a range of business use cases today where dashboards are failing (miserably).

Many businesses think of BI as infrastructure but that’s the shortest step to failure. The reality is that BI should deliver long-term value to the organization. BI done well is not a one-off project focused on infrastructure.

When our finance team really started to integrate BI into their workflows, we saw substantial improvements in empowerment and efficiency.

All of the value that’s delivered from BI comes from the context, not the numbers. For decades 95% of the effort in BI has been spent in cleaning data, preparation, and visualization. But for people in the business, all of the value comes from the remaining 5% - when the numbers are connected to context in the business. It’s time for this ratio to flip.

July was a huge month for M&A activity in the BI space. Thoughtspot raised $145 million, Salesforce acquired Datorama, Workday acquired Stories.bi and Tableau acquired Empirical Systems.

After taking a deep breath at the end of the financial year, we’ve jumped straight into another year – and things are already looking good. We closed out July 101% of budget and the whole organization is gearing up for our version 8 release. We believe it’s going to be a game changer in the way the whole industry thinks about analytics.
