Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations. Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources. What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?

Data can be your organization’s most valuable asset, but only if it’s data you can trust. When companies work with data that is untrustworthy for any reason, it can result in incorrect insights, skewed analysis, and reckless recommendations to become data integrity vs data quality. Two terms can be used to describe the condition of data: data integrity and data quality.

There’s nothing worse than wasting money on unnecessary costs. In on-premises data estates, these costs appear as wasted person-hours waiting for inefficient analytics to complete, or troubleshooting jobs that have failed to execute as expected, or at all. They manifest as idle hardware waiting for urgent workloads to come in, ensuring sufficient spare capacity to run them amidst noisy neighbors and resource-hungry, lower-priority workloads.

It seems barely a month goes by without a new supply chain attack making the headlines, and malicious code in dependency packages from package registries such as NPM is a common method. My usual sentiments include “oh another one, what a surprise” , before thoughts eventually turn to - someone really ought to be doing something about this. Fortunately, it turns out that quite a few things are indeed being done - there’s progress, activity, and promising ideas for the future.

There is a scene in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation where Tom Cruise is hanging onto the outside of a jet as it has taken off. And while, yes, he’s going with it, he’s not really on board or in control. Some data executives feel like that. It’s not enough to establish goals — or, the destination in this metaphor. The data strategy must provide a flight plan for making sure you get there — on time, on budget and, of course, safely on board.

Tail utilization is a significant system issue and a major factor in overload-related failures and low compute utilization. The tail utilization optimizations at Meta have had a profound impact on model serving capacity footprint and reliability. Failure rates, which are mostly timeout errors, were reduced by two-thirds; the compute footprint delivered 35% more work for the same amount of resources; and p99 latency was cut in half.
