Seeking to derive insights from their data and guide decision-making through the rest of the pandemic and beyond, BI has become an integral part of an organization's `scalable success' in the current fast-changing economic landscape.Data discovery, also known as data analysis for business users, is one of the top BI trends predicted for 2022, helping users utilize analytical abilities to uncover advanced patterns in the available data at the data analytics stage.In a world where everything revolves around data, data quality is still one of the most challenging issues of concern for data analysts worldwide. For obtaining the correct insights from the available data and making the right decisions, good data quality perfected with completeness, validity, uniqueness, consistency, timeliness, and accuracy is crucial. Data quality management (DQM) is a promising BI development, critical for avoiding the dangers of poor data quality and maximizing any company's BI expenditures.Predictive analytics and reporting are also gaining prominence, whether it's for assessing customer value or making sales projections. BI technologies can now predict future business trends based on existing data patterns because of the availability of big data for data analytics. Airlines, for example, may utilize this technology to forecast consumer demand and calculate the best ticket pricing. Similarly, banks and financial organizations can utilize this data to determine a customer's credit score.This year, more than ever, businesses have been seeking to migrate to the cloud and leverage all the benefits of cloud-based BI--whether by hosting it themselves on a private or public cloud or subscribing to a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution. The trend will only see an upbeat in the coming years, especially 2021.This edition aims to provide readers insights from industry leaders to help them have a detailed understanding of the BI arena and the recent developments in this field.Let us know your thoughts.Joe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe PhillipManaging EditorJoe PhillipSalesSebastian Jacobsebastian@cioapplications.comEmailsales@cioapplications.comeditor@cioapplications.commarketing@cioapplications.comGraphics & ArtVictor CruzEditorial StaffBen JacksonDaniel HolmesEzra BenjaminJune MichaelRose DcruzSenior WritersClara MathewLeah JaneRoyce D'Souza
