Excellent article. Thank you for sharing. You do not mention Power BI and Microsoft BI strategy centered around their relatively new product. I was just wondering why given that Power BI has been positioned as a leader in the BI market by Gartner. Again, excellent article!

I will be doing more research on Power BI. I wanted to make sure it just wasn't a product of the moment. I will be reviewing Power BI in the near future to see how it stacks up with other BI offerings. Part of my consideration is what type of a product this is. An enterprise solution or a data mining solution.
