What is Business Intelligence? Listen to a brief history of BI, where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we are going. Learn more here blogs.msdn.com
I like the style but the content is at several points inaccurate (eg. some of the things put in the past are actually happening now, some of the things put in the future are already here and have been for quite some time) I’m quite sure the author knows this.
Anyway… funny marketing babble
Great video! It shows where we come from and where we are today. Even more interesting is the future!
However, this is a great introductory video for people who are new to the field of BI. It shows what it really is all about (right data to the right person on the right time) and that it is not about the tools.
To hear this from a tool vendor (Microsoft) shows vision from a vender. Good job!
As a BI consultancy firm we are trying to achieve this every day: to make BI really work!

Dr. Codd invented the database? No, he developed the concept of the relational database, but there are other kinds of databases…
