The resurgence of the self-service analytics paradigm has revolutionized the world of Business Intelligence and data analytics.

However, as enterprises have developed solutions in response, Blue Hill believes that we are currently in a new generation of enterprise business intelligence (BI) and analytics that brings enterprise scope and self-service discovery together.

Today, as end users begin to demand solutions that do not compromise on agility or scalability, a middle ground is developing in enterprise Business Intelligence offerings.

This hybrid approach blends self-service autonomy with the governance, control, and collaboration required for true enterprise deployments.

This paper examines the evolving perspective of BI tools and outlines a framework that decision makers should follow to invest in an enterprise-wide self-service BI solution that is right for their organization.
