Market Trends

1. Trends by the size of enterprise

Business intelligence for small and medium enterprises have become affordable

Big data analytics is playing a significant role in the way various departments in a business, specifically sales and marketing, functions. SMEs are investing in BIs and gradually shifting from spreadsheets, as the solutions have become faster and more affordable. The BI solutions require configuration rather than development from scratch. For instance, in 2012, Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd. added Zoho Business Intelligence, which is a BI feature for Zoho CRM with Zoho report integration.

2. Trends by vertical

Increasing demand for location intelligence

Spatial data is adding to complexity/simplicity of BI and analytics. For end users, it is beneficial to mash-up location-based intelligence with other data. The users are able to map marketing strategies, locate geographic sites for restaurants or cellular towers, etc. the challenge faced by enterprises to deploy BI is that these systems are not designed to be implemented on existing systems of the spatial data of the enterprise. Advanced BI vendors are gradually working on the issue, but traditional BI is not compatible when it comes to spatial data. For instance, in October 2014, Luciad, a Belgium-based software developing company, designed time dimension-based business intelligence to enhance location and its interactive user conference for BI.
