The katabatic winds in Antarctica are the most powerful winds on
earth, caused by air tumbling down from higher elevations. Scientists
and researchers who live and work in these winds constantly monitor
them and adapt their lifestyles in response.
Today’s business intelligence environments are much like these
katabatic winds. Business environments, users’ data needs, and
corresponding business rules are constantly shifting and changing, and
BI professionals must quickly adapt.
This keynote examines the complexities of classic BI architectures
and approaches, and explores the difficulties of responding to change.
We will examine agile BI methods as a key for rapid response to change,
and also discuss several new and emerging business intelligence
approaches, including BI in the cloud, the no-SQL movement, adaptive
architectures, and other techniques designed to enable more rapid
response to the katabatic changes in corporate BI environments.
