Preliminary
data from the 2015 BARC BI Survey indicate that use of BI is increasing and becoming more pervasive in departments
besides Finance and upper management:
Following rather stagnant numbers in 2014, this year reveals an upward
trend across all business departments. The biggest increase can be found in
production departments (from 21 percent to 53 percent). The operationalization
of BI has progressed rapidly in recent years. This is particularly evident in
big data analytics scenarios where ever-increasing volumes of machine and
sensor data are being used in the production process – for example for
optimizing production processes or predictive maintenance of machines.
