Exploring Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is coming to BI, albeit in an evolutionary way, and will result in speedier, more flexible information delivery to an organization's BI users. Security and control of content remain the biggest barriers to adoption, but these can be managed. The advice to Rick Goodhue is to think long and hard about the potential consequences, come up with a plan, and go for it. Every technology-savvy professional is experiencing the rapid changes that are occurring across the spectrum of computing systems and communication networks. It is natural to consider applying these exciting changes to one's professional life. Rick Goodhue should be cautious in adopting Web 2.0 technologies in hopes of improving information delivery for business intelligence applications.
