WHERE DID BI COME FROM? The industry that has claimed responsibility for helping organizations get real value from information goes by the name business intelligence. This term was originally coined by Hans Peter Luhn, an IBM researcher, way back in 1958. Luhn defined business intelligence as the ability to apprehend the interrelationships of presented facts in such a way as to guide action towards a desired goal. The term didnt catch on, however, until sometime after Howard Dresner, best known for his work at Gartner, used it again to breathe new life into to the data warehousing industry. Dresner defined the term as concepts and methods to improve business decision making using fact-based support systems.Source: 4.

OVERVIEW OF THE PEOPLEPROBLEMData volume is growing exponentially without a doubtIn the past, the most difficult problem for businesses was how tostore all the data.The challenge now is no longer to store large amounts ofinformation, but to understand and analyze this data, make adecision, and take action.This leads to the people problem, who can analyze the data andcrunch the numbers and make sense of it? 9. PEOPLE SKILL SHORTAGEThere is going to be significant shortage of analytical talent. Indeed,thesituation might get worse before it improves, due partly to theemergence of big data. For example, a report released last May bythe McKinsey Global Institute estimated that by 2018 in the U.S.alone, there could be an unmet need for 140,000 to 190,000workers with deep analytical capabilities for analyzing bigdata.To boot, the creation of business analytics tools takes more than justtraditional software development skills, it also calls for high-endmath capabilities given the emphasis on data mining, statisticalsampling and forecasting. India produces about 690,000 math andsciences graduates each year, according to a study released Friday.The comparable number for the U.S. is 420,000.Source: http://www.informationweek.com/news/global-cio/outsourcing/229204206http://www.mckinsey.com/Insights/MGI/Research/Technology_and_Innovation/Big 10.
