In 2011, for the first time, more smartphones were sold than personal computers. In this course we will examine the current trends for mobile platforms and devices competing in today’s market, and understand the impact of selecting them. While we typically have a good understanding of delivering BI capabilities, the distinctions between the desktop and devices must also be understood in order to deliver BI capabilities to the proper platform and mode of the user. Therefore, mobile users and their behavior will need to be defined.
Traditional BI/DW architectures can be adapted while other architectures such as cloud computing, software-as-a-service, and virtualization will play a bigger role. Most profound will be the paradigm shift to service-oriented architecture, semantic layer, and the new BI app store. We will also examine the required technology infrastructure.
