However, it's not as widespread as you may think.

This brief paper details the current state of business analytics and reveals the results from a Computerworld Quick Poll. Take some time to read this now and inherit a list of best practices that will help CIOs spearhead their company's BI initiatives to make better use of data for a competitive advantage. Learn why defining a true enterprise strategy and teaching end users to use the business analytics tools themselves can help foster a data-rich environment that will vault you ahead of your competition.
