The Nature of Information

I need to know what I need to know when I need to know it.

I won’t know what I need to know until I need to know it.

The World of Information Is Changing

Independent data discovery software companies are muscling in on territory that once belonged to business intelligence (BI) mega-vendors like Oracle and SAP Business Objects, according to a new Gartner Magic Quadrant report.

The findings represent a sea change in attitude that is being driven largely by business users who want ease of use and who are exerting more influence over BI purchasing decisions than ever before. Historically viewed as a supplement to traditional BI platforms, data discovery software is now increasingly being sought as a viable standalone alternative.

“We’re seeing [data discovery tools used] more pervasively across the enterprise,” . . . “In the past, they were very much departmental solutions. But this year, in particular, QlikTech has really expanded the numbers of average users per deployment.”
