Big Data - According to IDC, data is doubling every two years and is expected to reach 1.8
ZB (a trillion GB) in 2011.
Eight mobility related mega trends are locked in a virtuous cycle and will be the bedrock
for growth and adoption of Mobile BI solutions and for the overall Enterprise Mobility.
Mobile BI market could grow at 20% plus CAGR over the next 5 years and could likely
become over a $2 billion market by 2015.
According to Gartner, more than 33% of Analytics will be consumed using mobile
devices, a prediction well supported by the 8 mobility related mega trends discussed here.
Therefore, by 2015 more than 15% of Analytics revenues could come from Mobile
Analytics solutions. This should be a serious strategic priority for every Analytics vendor if

9. The Mobile BI market and potential customers desire
advanced Mobile BI solutions…
According to the research reports, enterprise customers desire a large set of functionality in the form of

will continue to drive the Mobile BI consumption.
The Search and Exploration and the Production / Advanced Analytics models are the two upcoming Mobile BI
frontiers that will increase the value and the impact of Mobile BI solutions.
