Business Intelligence / Big Data Trends Part II

Earlier this week I evaluated an article about the business intelligence (BI) trends for 2013. In this post I noted that the 2013 trends remain for 2014. Today I came across a new article from a different author and publication commenting on the top big data trends for 2014. Guess what? They are almost identical.

Here are the author's big data trends for 2014:

1. Mobility driving investments
2. Increased use of private and hybrid clouds
3. Internet of things pushing demand
4. Employees becoming primary users
5. Data-Centric applications becoming the norm
6. Search used as unstructured query language

While there are differences between these two lists (primarily due to the focus of big data rather than BI in the most recent article) it is clear that the same trends for BI/Big Data for 2013 remain for 2014.
