What to Do? Business Intelligence Data Visualization vs. Data Discovery

Business Intelligence Data Visualization vs. Data Discovery

Business Intelligence (BI) is a burgeoning software market, and customer demand for these types of products is changing rapidly. As users become more sophisticated and understand the value of good data, they want more integration, more visualization and most of all, better, more concise access to data with less effort. Businesses are looking for solutions that can support the need for swift, effective decision-making, while, at the same time, protecting their investment in the BI solution and supporting future needs.When an organization is considering a business intelligence solution, it will often focus on one primary need, e.g., data visualization, data discovery, BI self-service etc. In fact, it is imperative that a business weigh the importance of all of these needs and select a balanced solution that will give them most, if not all, of what they need. By making balanced choice, the business will avoid expensive customization, poor user adoption and poor TCO and ROI.
