Business Intelligence Market Drivers

Increasing Demand for Data Visualization Dashboards to Support Informed Business Decisions

In recent years, many businesses have been utilizing data visualization tools to simplify the viewing and understanding of trends, outliers, and patterns by employing visual elements such as charts, graphs, and maps. Data visualization dashboards present real-time data by extracting complex data points from large datasets. Additionally, these visualization and dashboard creation tools enable users to analyze data and communicate insights quickly and intuitively, catering to both experienced data analysts and casual business users, often without the need for coding. They also assist in preparing, securing, and governing data for data warehouses, analytics, and various business applications.

Furthermore, a data visualization dashboard enables digital marketers to track multiple data sources and visualize the data, providing a robust dataset for decision-makers. Several organizations are launching data visualization solutions to enhance business operations. For example, in September 2022, AdvisorEngine Inc. (U.S.) introduced new data visualization dashboards that offer insights tailored to specific roles within key wealth management areas. These dashboards include features such as ‘drag-and-drop’ customization, in-line editing, automatic data population, advanced filtering, one-click drill-down to detailed data, and enterprise permissions to manage information access. As a result, the increasing demand for data visualization tools to facilitate informed business decisions is driving the demand for business intelligence solutions, thereby promoting market growth.

Surge in Demand for Cloud Business Intelligence Applications

The increasing technological advancements that allow organizations to scale their resources based on demand are driving the growth of cloud-based business intelligence solutions. Organizations are increasingly utilizing the latest analytics tools and features without the need to upgrade on-premises systems. The adoption of cloud-based BI solutions has risen as they operate on a subscription model, minimizing the upfront costs associated with hardware and software purchases. Additionally, the growing trend of remote work is fueling demand for cloud BI applications, enabling access from anywhere with an internet connection across various teams.

Additionally, cloud BI applications integrate advanced analytics tools that leverage AI and machine learning, enabling deeper insights and predictive capabilities. As the adoption of cloud-based BI solutions continues to rise, several providers are launching new offerings for organizations. For example, in October 2024, Everon, LLC (U.S.) introduced Mavn BI, Onepoint, and Sightline Brands, which focus on intelligence-driven video solutions and an account management suite. Everon’s cloud-based software portal serves as a single point of access for commercial customers, linking critical business insights from Mavn BI and Sightline video solutions in one comprehensive destination. Such developments are expected to further drive the growth of cloud-based BI solutions during the forecast period.

Surging Need for Business Intelligence in Human Resource

Organizations are increasingly utilizing business intelligence solutions in human resources to enable data-driven decision-making for talent management and optimizing organizational performance. The use of BI tools allows HR professionals to analyze data related to recruitment, retention, performance, and employee engagement, resulting in more effective HR strategies. With these tools, companies can examine employee turnover data, enabling HR to identify at-risk employees and implement targeted retention strategies, thereby reducing turnover rates. Consequently, as the benefits become more apparent, organizations are expected to increasingly adopt BI tools for human resource management in the coming years.

Several companies are increasingly introducing business intelligence solutions for human resource management. For instance, in September 2024, Iron Mountain, Inc. (U.S.) launched its Digital HR solution, a scalable, low-code Software as a Service (SaaS) offering built on the newly released Iron Mountain InSight Digital Experience Platform (DXP). This solution addresses key challenges faced by HR departments by providing secure management of employee files in a centralized platform for both physical and digital documentation, catering to employee records requirements. Such developments are contributing to the rising demand for business intelligence solutions in human resources.
