from my buddy Bruno Aziza at Microsoft.

How will we make decisions in the future? Bruno Aziza, Worldwide Lead Strategist for Microsoft’s Business Intelligence group culled the wisdom of the crowd to help him peer into the future.

A little less than a month ago, I asked people via multiple networks and forums what they thought business intelligence would look like in 2020.  I received some great predictions and I’ll be talking about them this week at the Gartner Business Intelligence Summit 2010 in London.

Some folks were cautious in their forecasts.  One respondent told me that maybe – just maybe – if by 2020 we have solved  quality and integration issues, and if continue to improve usability and make the use of mash-ups more efficient, we'll finally get to the point where non-technical users finally benefit from BI without involvement lot of help from IT.
