Forecast for Cloud BI and Data Management:
Hot and Rising
Until recently, adoption rates for cloud BI limped along at about 30%, but that is changing as data gravity shifts to the cloud. According to a new study by BARC and Eckerson Group, that figure has jumped to 43% and our experts expect it to continue growing. This infographic depicts key trends in the adoption of the cloud by companies that have BI and data management programs. It also captures the drivers, benefits and challenges companies face when implementing cloud BI.
