## Trends trends trends … so what?

Top 10 tech trends for 2017. Top 5 BI trends for 2017. Etc etc. It’s that time of the year when all those industry watchers, vendors, bloggers and the like come out with their lists and predictions for the new year. It’s not that much different from those ‘5 ways to get rich’ and ’10 ways to lose weight without diet or exercise’ articles. Maybe you’ll find that the latter ones are somewhat less boring than the usual technology trends articles, but the point is (after all): what’s in it for me?

Many organizations have implemented Business intelligence tools in the hopes of making their operations data-driven and therefore more effective. Yet, despite the investment of millions in these tools, the technology has under-delivered on its promise: user adoption of Business intelligence tools remains poor. And that’s where Push intelligence comes in!

## [What is push intelligence and why do I need it?](https://blog.agilos.com/business/what-is-push-intelligence)

Business intelligence could thrive in a lot of companies. And that’s why it is a shame that it is not always bringing the value it could. A lot of managers can’t see the bigger data-picture, which leads to mistakes and a slower response in taking the necessary measures. Push intelligence could be the time-saving solution everyone is looking for: the system provides a global view on the user selected Kpi’s,  and the contextual relevant warnings and information.
