Emerging Business Intelligence Trends

Discussing new and emerging technologies poses the risk of putting a conceptual “freshness date” on this book. However, the techniques described in this chapter focus on a combination of methods that, when combined with business process improvements and governed data management practices, will open new vistas in which actionable knowledge can be put to profitable use. And to mitigate the risk of diminished shelf life, we will continue to present new and emerging concepts and trends on the book’s companion web site, http://www.businessintelligence-book.com
