5 Business Intelligence and Analytics Trends that Are Shaping 2021
Although industry standards and trends change every year, the last year or so was presented with particularly unique circumstances amidst the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Across the Atlantic, the European Union is setting climate goals that will impact a number of industries. Data will play an even more important role in logistics moving forward.

You might have been joining the great new series of webinars in the series Knowledge Exchange Forum that DI have been hosting on Tuesday evenings at 7pm UK and Irish time.

Learn How Indicators Within Tables Can Help With Data Comprehension
Dashboards are great tools for visualizing data. Large amounts of data that might be tedious to analyze can be quickly summarized and displayed as charts or a single indicator. However, tables are better for the comparison of individual items. In tables, indicators can assist visualization and improve understanding of the data in the table. So, how can you use these indicators? Let’s look at the two examples mentioned above: standalone indicators and indicators that are part of a table.More
Why move your analytics to the cloud?
If you ask most anyone about moving their software to the cloud, they’ll not only know what you are talking about, more often than not, they will be doing so themselves. It’s a trend that started long before the pandemic hit. But recently, the trend seems to have picked up its pace. In the “Flexera 2021, State of the Cloud Report,” Flexera interviewed 750 “global cloud decision-makers” about their plans for the cloud, including asking how COVID-19 has impacted their plans. 9 out of 10 of these companies say the pandemic has accelerated their plans. It’s no surprise the pandemic has had an impact on their decision-making.More
