The business intelligence (BI) software market is predicted to soar to USD 27.9 billion by 2027, yet only 30% of employees use these tools for decision-making. This gap between investment and usage highlights significant opportunity costs.
The main hurdle in implementing BI tools is their complexity. While traditional BI tools are powerful, they are often too complex and time-consuming to make effective decisions. Business decision makers need insights tailored to their specific business context, not complex dashboards that are difficult to navigate. Organizations now rely on many data analysts to manage and interpret data, creating dashboards and other BI assets for analytics consumers. This requirement creates a significant bottleneck, reducing productivity and stalling BI adoption. Generative AI aims to change this dynamic.
Gartner® predicts that by 2025, enhanced consumerization capabilities will drive more than 50% adoption of analytics and business intelligence to impact business processes and decision-making.
To address this, we developed IBM watsonx™ BI Assistant, an innovative tool that simplifies BI by empowering business users to interact with complex data systems using intuitive natural language through text or voice. With watsonx BI Assistant, organizations can empower all business users to make better decisions.
