Globally, business analytics continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in IT. According to Gartner, business analytics was a USD 12.2 billion market in 2011, expected to grow at approximately 10% annually through 2016 (as per IDC). While business analytics has been around for almost a decade, the recent trend for small and medium sized businesses is to adopt business intelligence and analytics to analyze their data, optimize their business functions, and learn the answers to three critical questions: “How are we doing? Why? What should we be doing?”
It has now been proven that organizations that adopt business analytics drive superior performance, and game-changing results to outperform their competition. In an increasingly competitive environment, businesses must find new ways to manage the increasing volume and complexity of information available. They must also deploy leading-edge analytics solutions to gain visibility, intelligence and insight into “what has happened, and what will happen,” for their organization.
