The Rise of the Modern Analytic Platform
BI tools have evolved from purpose-built tools to suites to modern analytic platforms (MAPs)--integrated environments with a comprehensive set of BI services geared to all types of business users and developers and accessible via standard and programmatic interfaces. Modern analytic platforms access all types of data, optimize both performance and scalability, and balance self service and governance requirements. This video reviews the key characteristics of a MAP.
Here is a 10-minute video in which Wayne Eckerson describes the evolution and characteristics of a modern analytic platform.

8 年Great video Wayne. I think strong usability in the user interface is also a crucial soft factor, especially as the feature payload increases. Rich desktop apps that allow occasionally-disconnected work and better access to the local file system are also still a requirement for some analysts to be productive. A lot of data science work still happens on desktops in R and python. People are fine working in browsers for light work, but the web still has a way to go for heavy functionality. Compare the role of Google Maps vs Google Earth. Users don't like manually uploading datasets to keep them fresh. As local files move to the cloud (via Google Docs, O365 OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, etc) as data sources, and web UI rendering innovation progresses, that pattern is changing.
