Gartner's infamous  Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms for 2015 has just been released. You can see the quadrant below. We will write about it a little later. Also compare it with Magic Quadrant of 2014 (see below). For now some notes : Tableau's stellar rise to leaders quadrant and now becoming the outliner performing better than all others is much more pronounced now in 2015. And this is still before the exiting new release of Version 9. Gartner says "Tableau has clearly defined the market in terms of data discovery, with a focus on "helping people see and understand their data." It is currently the perceived market leader with most vendors viewing Tableau as the competitor they most want to be like and to beat. At a minimum, they want to stop the encroachment of Tableau into their customer accounts." Tibco Software fell from leaders to visionaries. Gartner says "The future of Tibco itself is uncertain, following the acq...

Singapore Technologies Electronics (ST Electronics) and IBM Singapore has announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding  to collaborate on transport data analytics and to exchange technical information about products and capabilities, specifically on the use of smart analytics for urban mobility. With transport data analytics, governments and companies can better understand the commuting patterns and can optimize the traffic and transportation systems. But since the input data for the transport analytics would be huge and the mathematical foundation of the problem is very complex, powerful platforms as well as expert skills are needed to utilize the analytics. "IBM is working with organisations around the world to make cities smarter with data driven solutions to attain new levels of insight and efficiency through analytics" said Janet Ang, Managing Director, IBM Singapore.

Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH), a 550-bed hospital in Singapore , is using analytics to cut unnecessary readmissions which wastes hospital bed capacity and creates unnecessary cost: "To further reduce unnecessary readmissions, KTPH recently identified a group of 800 patients with two hospital admissions in a six-month period. Using an analytics technology , doctors were able to target specific patients who were most likely to be readmitted for a third time in the following month. “This allowed our nurses to prioritise their home visits for more vulnerable patients,” said Mr Lau. He added that the pilot project achieved results of over 90 per cent accuracy. There are currently 800 patients in KTPH’s AIP programme, which does not require additional payment by patients. Mr Lau said that, with timely intervention, the hospital can potentially free up to 58 beds in a six-month period."

Business Analytics (BA) and Business Intelligence (BI) are usually used used interchangeably but there are some key differences between these two and Business Analytics is not Business Intelligence! Business analytics makes extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analysis, explanatory and predictive modeling, and fact-based management to drive decision making. Analytics may be used as input for human decisions or may drive fully automated decisions. On the other hand Business intelligence is more about querying, reporting, OLAP, and "alerts". In this sense, most business intelligence / business analytics tools in the market offers a mix of BA and BI. Some are more BA tool than BI tool and some are more BI tool than BA tool. Below image shows the Business Analytics levels. There are 2 main level: Reactive decision making and Proactive decision making. And Business Analytics is a term which should be used for proactive  decision making, which is predicting the f...
