How businesses are addressing cloud BI data integration concerns

Blog-post by Rick Blaisdell, Tue, 06/18/2013 - 13:09

Although cloud computing solutions and services are widespread, business intelligence solutions have not been adopted at a large scale in the last five years, according to Howard Dresner's 2012 Wisdom of Crowds Cloud BI Market Study.

The House has passed an amendment to a larger bill that will streamline federal IT and finally empower CIOs - those able to keep their jobs as CIOs. Federal CIOs have long felt powerless and this bill, as this fedscoop story says, only restates their duties.

If passsed, the amendment, according to the story, would call for seriously denting the ranks of an estimated 250 federal CIOs. But with government, mandating and doing are two different things.
