Visit Intelligent Enterprise (lower left on the page) and you can participate in a poll on innovation in business intelligence. Specifically, the question posed is: which innovation will be most important in the next era of business intelligence?
You can pick the following answers:
- Social networks as data sources and collaborative analysis environments
- Dynamic interactive interfaces (Ajax, Flash/Flex, Silverlight, etc.)
- Decision services (blending analytics, business rules and process management to automate/facilitate decision-making)
- Embedding business intelligence (within enterprise apps, portals, etc.)
- In-memory data analysis
- Advanced information visualization techniques
Once you vote you’ll get to see the current results. Which, at the moment, are logical, although not surprising.
