How are wireless technologies influencing the business intelligence sector?
Business Intelligence is getting more and more important in many companies. This is as companies realize that a competitive advantage can not be achieved through ERP systems - as many companies have them, those are almost considered a commodity item - but only through BI Systems in which the huge amounts of data collected by the ERP Systems are converted into information and knowledge.
With this decisions will be made based on facts and figures. It is key that the knowledge generated is available at your finger tips at the time when you are making decisions and here the wireless technologies help to make the information available at every time of the day and at every location.
Technologies which come to mind immediately are: WAN services provided at many airports, business centers and more and more flights, gprs/e-mail services for special devices such as Blackberries - available in many countries now, and SMS services integrated into BI Systems.
