Yesterday I presented to an B-eye-network audience our perspective on why business intelligence is broken and what can be done to fix it. The full PDF-version (4mb) of the presentation can be downloaded.
A sampling of the fun:
"Chart-based encryption -- data goes in, no information comes out"
On the excessive emphasis on reporting over analysis...
"Technologists are looking to build an atomic-baloney slicer"..."Nobody ever got fired for adding more requirements"
"Data analysis isn’t just for the data analysts anymore"
"Have you ever working with a reporting tool that outputted to PDF?"
Hopefully we stirred the pot a little with this presentation. A recording of the B-eye-network event should be available soon.
