David M. Raab, Principal at Raab Associates Inc., addressed concerns about on-demand BI in Information Management’s February issue. “As with any technology, on-demand BI will be limited at first. For now, it's worth testing the automated systems to understand what they really can do. Even if the current reality doesn't quite live up to the promises, bear in mind that the systems will grow over time,” he wrote.
