Data Dive #34: State of BI: Insights for Data Leaders on the Strategic Edge 🎯

THE STATE OF BI REPORT IS HERE - and as a Data Dive subscriber, you get early access!

BI has never been more powerful - or more chaotic. BI Sprawl is taking over, with teams drowning in reports, juggling multiple platforms, and struggling to keep costs and governance in check. We spoke to 50+ BI leaders and surveyed over 30 practitioners to uncover the biggest challenges they’re facing right now.

And guess what? AI isn’t their top concern. Only 10% of respondents listed it as their biggest challenge. Instead, most are battling fragmented BI environments, inconsistent data, and trust issues - problems that undermine decision-making and drive up costs. With 75% of companies using multiple BI platforms, things are getting messy fast.

BI is at a crossroads. Migrations are accelerating, AI is reshaping reporting, and trust in data has never been more critical. This report breaks it all down - so you can get ahead.
