I have completed this paper, where I make the case for one of the largest trends in BI, mobility.
"No matter what business you are in, you are in the business of information. And it's business intelligence that has long been the discipline to deliver the needed information. Demand for business intelligence as a means to get maximum value from information has never been higher as businesses increasingly compete in real time and require information that is integrated from across the enterprise. The old saw about business intelligence is that it gets "the right information to the right people at the right time." It's really time to add "right medium" to that mix.
Automating business decisions and action is one path to business intelligence maturity. Determining what actions to trigger automatically based on changes in corporate data can come from a solid understanding of how decisions are made today. However, many decisions are multifaceted, and a knowledge worker's analysis will continue to be a part of effective business intelligence.
Effective analysis is getting more complicated for knowledge workers. The more complicated aspects include sensing what is happening and combining that with summarized historical data to build a set of possible actions. These "analytics" are the basis of competitive advantage for organizations today. Once calculated, they must be put to effective use, again utilizing the best medium available for real-time delivery."
