@forrester just published a dozen 2026 budget planning guides for technology, #data, #analytics, #AI, security, #marketing leaders including https://t.co/0ubMhl6YVj by yours truly. Each guide has detailed "invest", "divest/reduce/pause", and "experiment" recommendations.

Interviewing users of leading #businessintelligence vendors/platforms about their use of conversational UI - natural language to query #NLQ . So far very few positive results. Some of the reasons https://t.co/Me4xGb0g2M @forrester

[Boris Evelson @bevelson]

In the age of #generativeAI #genAI #NLQ is no longer just Natural Language to Query (eg, it could be natural language to #Python). Is NLQ now Natural Language data Questions? https://t.co/tJvmc69Erj #businessintelligence

50% of organizations deploy 4 or more #businessintelligence platforms (that % has been gyrating between 50% and 60% over the last few years). How many does your organization deploy? https://t.co/H1R5kyINzq @forrester

Everything is getting more expensive, and #businessintelligence #BI is no exception - #Microsoft raises #PowerBI prices https://t.co/R7d8vHuFMO @forrester #analytics

“To flagrantly bastardize a popular Zen koan: If a data point sits in a data center and never impacts a decision, does it have value? The answer is unambiguously “no.”” By @bcpurcell from @forrester https://t.co/Wg2qkLVFP2 #businessintelligence #AI #analytics

[Boris Evelson @bevelson]

Even #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #generativeAI #genAI has already been commoditized in #businessintelligence #BI functionality https://t.co/ctMf5OdXgh @forrester AI Is Now A Core Capability Of BI Platforms (https://t.co/1CgEu1Zj1Q)

#generativeAI #genAI is NOT disrupting enterprise #businessintelligence #analytics market, but rather adding incremental value, and not without cost and risk. @forrester

[Boris Evelson @bevelson]

In '24 companies at the advanced #data #analytics #businessintelligence maturity levels are nearly 8 times as likely to report being ahead of the industry average instead of below while companies at the beginner level are only about 4 times as likely. @forrester

What are the dimensions of #datadriven data-driven decision making? Please consider taking a short Forrester survey https://t.co/f2lAHoo005

[Boris Evelson @bevelson]

The explosion of #generativeAI #LLMs activity has brought w it a new vocabulary that's foreign to many tech & data leaders and their teams. To avoid talking past one another, teams must have a shared understanding of the new #genAI vocabulary. @forrester https://t.co/XUiak5bLBw

How do we bring #businessintelligence #analytics to the "other" 80% of business users? https://t.co/2OVNE247Xl @forrester

@forrester https://t.co/EhSRBfCQ1d by @mgualtieri and Rowan Curran. My key takeaway #generativeAI #genAI #businessintelligence #analytics #NLP #documentanalytics #textanalytics : know your #LLM strengths & weaknesses, insist on bring-any-LLM architecture from ur tech provider

Obviously the only correct answer to my question is "it depends". Still, how does the following sound: u need 1 data/analytics pro to support ~10 "power" business users, then in turn each one of these is needed to support ~10 (+/- 20%) casual business users. Reactions? #analytics

@AjaRaden We, his colleagues, and definitely yours truly, will miss him dearly. Please accept my deepest condolences.
