Solving the Long Tail of Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence software is complex, costly, and typically serves less than 20% of a com-pany's workforce. The reports produced by such BI tools must be well defined in advance, and if management needs a new report to be produced, pick a number and get to the back of the line. The remaining 80% of the workforce spend 25% of their day searching for answers to their queries without the Benefit of BI. BI tools are simply not designed for Ad-Hoc analysis of mission critical data. Ad-hoc requests represent the Long Tail of Information Access.
