Dresner Advisory May 2025 News |
| “Data architectures that lack flexibility, adaptability, and scalability will hinder organizations’ efforts to see the benefit and achieve positive return on investment from their analytical investments. Active data architecture is about correcting these shortcomings by building flexible, more scalable, and dynamically optimized capabilities…. and semantic layer is being embraced by organizations looking to achieve the long-time goal of facilitating data access and integration in a more robust and flexible manner.” – Howard Dresner founder and chief research officer |
Here’s a recap of activity at Dresner Advisory and a look at what’s ahead.
We published the Active Data Architecture Market Study and our inaugural Semantic Layer report, as well as the 10th annual Self-Service Business Intelligence Market Study and two companion reports covering Guided Analytics® and Collective Insights®.
Self-service BI builds upon governance, data storytelling, collaborative support, generative AI, natural language analytics, and Guided Analytics to enable users can easily create and share insights in a managed and consistent fashion. Guided Analytics improves time to insight and action by supporting the creation of connections between related and relevant information and directing and suggesting analytical story flow. Collective Insights incorporates user governance to the concept of collaborative BI, where people and organizations work together to develop a common understanding, build consensus, and support organizational decision making.
Next up is flagship Business Intelligence Market Study, scheduled for publication at the end of May.
Expected 2025 titles and dates are listed here.
