Relevance of Frameworks in Today's BI Market

Overview

Over the last several years, the Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence (BI) industry has seen multiple dynamics emerge and subside. From a technology standpoint, it saw a growing number of tool-based vendors emerge, and last year it witnessed significant consolidation. Similarly in the approach toward executing BI projects, the industry began with companies going "Big bang" in terms of building their enterprise data warehouse all at once, only to realize later that data warehouse projects are best executed by breaking them into multiple small and manageable phases. In today's BI market, one of the buzzwords making the rounds is "Frameworks". So, going by the above definition, the usage of frameworks in this space is absolutely relevant.
