We are all experiencing how mobile is slowly taking control of our personal and professional lives. It has made quite an impact on companies offering Business Intelligence solutions too. Usually, anyone operating the BI tools needs to be functional in a corporate set-up or atleast needs to use the laptop to check the required information.

Mobile BI lets you filter, sort, manage and make an important decision even if you are shopping at the mall or waiting at the airport to catch your next flight. Neither of the industry continues without adding innovation in their product, and so is the opinion from the owners of the large enterprises who thinks that mobile BI is the most amazing and convenient way for them to make critical business decisions until the date.
