Magic Quadrant Direction

2015 Gartner Magic Quadrant for BI & Analytics Platforms

Current State

• Departmental BI

• Business-centric platforms

• Narrow set of capabilities, but are used more broadly

• “Good enough”

• What’s lacking?

• The ability to scale

• Data governance across the enterprise

• Moves away from a “single source of truth”

Gartner predicts that by 2017 the Chief Marketing Office (CMO) will spend more on IT than the CIO ! 7

Predictions

• By 2018, data discovery and data management evolution will drive most

organizations to augment centralized analytic architectures with

decentralized approaches

• By 2017, most data discovery tools will have incorporated smart data

discovery capabilities to expand the reach of interactive analysis

• By 2017, most business users and analysts in organizations will have

access to self-service tools to prepare data for analysis

• By 2017, most business intelligence and analytics platforms will natively

support multi-structured data and analysis

• Through 2016, less than 10% of self-service business intelligence

initiatives will be governed sufficiently to prevent inconsistencies that

adversely affect the business

Oracle Data Visualization Formerly known as “Visual Analyzer”

• Enables ad-hoc data

exploration, allowing

the user to explore data

visually, on an

individual basis

• Quickly discover trends

without having to model

data…upload a

spreadsheet on-the-fly

and go!

• Rapidly create rich

analyses through drag-

and-drop configuration

of new visual grammar

• Data Mash-ups

• Take data from two sources, specify how they are linked and use them seamlessly in a

report 9
