The State of BI: An RV Parked in a Cul-de-Sac

by Vince Kellen

BI concepts and applications appear to have matured over the past 20 years. But don't let the recent frenzy of M&A activity in this space -- a typical signal of maturation -- fool you. As editor of CBR, I pride myself in producing an issue that fosters different perspectives and competing views. You will see that Rajiv and Vince, both experts in this field, have their share of disagreements. I take this as evidence that there are no easy answers and that business intelligence remains in a state of flux. I hope you will find this issue stimulating and useful as you chart your own course.
