While some BI features may appear similar
on the surface, regardless of which vendor
supplies them, access to capabilities can
sometimes be limited, depending on a few
different factors. Through a multi-cloud
Business Intelligence approach, companies
can avoid vendor lock-in, instead leveraging
strengths from a whole catalogue of tools.
Over the next few years, as emerging
technologies such as Machine Learning (ML),
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of
Things (IoT) continue to change the nature
of business functions and operations, the
adoption of multiple cloud vendors will no
doubt grow even greater.
As the importance of multi-cloud for the
future of Business Intelligence continues to
accelerate, now is the time for organisations
to work out what is important to them and
go on to define their approach to data. •
