No business can afford to be caught out by missing the value to be mined from the increasingly large amounts of available data generated by everyday devices.

The text provides background as to how analytical solutions and enterprise architecture methodologies and concepts have evolved (including the roles of data warehouses, business intelligence tools, predictive analytics, data discovery, Big Data, and the impact of the Internet of Things).
