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.

How can we use this new information goldmine? Our connected environment is evolving every day. The days when *Analytics* were reserved for a little group of data scientists are over. Every person in an organization has now the opportunity to analyze data, no matter its origin, and no matter its complexity.

In the introduction, I wrote “…it's still interesting to see how each of the key players have (slightly) moved”. Well, I can’t say that this year. The 4 BIG traditional BI vendors have dropped out of the leaders quadrant, including IBM, Oracle, SAP and SAS. Bye bye. 3 vendors dominate the leaders quadrant now: Qlik, Tableau and Microsoft.
