BI and Web 2.0

This article was originally posted on August 23, 2007.

I browsed a good article by Colin White in the August 2007 issue of DM Review magazine. It summarizes some prominent Web 2.0 technologies and their impact on Business Intelligence, and underscores the point that BI is decreasingly about analyzing only structured data that resides within an organization — it increasingly will involve user-defined taxonomies (via tagging) of what White calls “unstructured, unmanaged” data that sits on the Web.
