Today, the name of the game in business intelligence is easy access.

Business users want easy access to information and insights. They want up-to-the-moment dashboards and continuous on-demand reports delivered to their desktops or printers in lightning-quick speed. They also want to be in control. They want to sit in the driver’s seat. And they want to go as fast as possible. Of course, speed comes in various forms. IT professionals talk about the performance of a BI system in terms of how quickly it can process big data and update a dashboard or produce a new report. Speed of implementation is another consideration to keep in mind.
