Now more than ever, organizations are looking for ways to put relevant data in the hands of information workers. They know that the right data empower users to generate key insights and make better decisions. To do that, business users require user-friendly, self-service BI tools that allow them interact with data in a meaningful way.

In-memory business intelligence has gotten a lot of traction over the last few years for its ability to connect and model data “on the fly”, making it instantly available for analysis and reporting.
