In today’s dynamic business environment, Business Intelligence (BI) has become indispensable for fostering data-driven decision-making. Industry reports from Fortune Business Insights project significant growth in the global BI market, expected to rise from $24.05 billion in 2021 to $43.03 billion by 2028, with a robust CAGR of 8.7%. However, despite this growth potential, BI adoption remains modest, with only 26% of organizations currently utilizing these tools, according to 360Suite. As smaller businesses increasingly turn to BI to gain a competitive edge, Helical Insight is uniquely positioned to support this transition, empowering organizations of all sizes to harness their data and transform it into meaningful, actionable insights.
