"data will be the driving force of Web 2.0…"
MAIA Intelligence sees BI 2.0 as an extension of Web 2.0 in enterprise scenario where in it is an important opportunity to user and extends our expertise on presentation layer, data visualization and information on demand. It will be a mix and match of structured and unstructured, corporate and public data mash up in many new ways for analysis and interactive reporting capabilities.
BI 2.0 architecture & differentiation with the traditional BI
Traditional BI was within the organization in hands of few expert users. BI 2.0 will democratize BI and bring it to masses. Traditionally BI was complex, difficult and architected for selected analysts. BI 2.0 architecture will open up host of options for creativity with operational business users getting involved. This next generation BI 2.0 includes visualization capabilities that let users see the relationships among data, interactivity that lets them manipulate the data and an intuitive manner of working that suits the way business users think, for example, in asking new questions as they arise. BI 2.0 tools are more intuitive for business users than traditional business intelligence tools, specialty software and spreadsheets. They tend to be more adaptable and run faster and are organized around the user’s experience, not the structure of the data.

Limitations of the BI 2.0 technology
The most interesting challenges of BI 2.0 is balancing the need between, need for creativity with the need for control. BI 2.0 expects data supply to be near real time and in many case can be dynamic and coming from heterogeneous data sources at this place queries will be complex and will be difficult to do mash up. BI 2.0 heralds both a massive increase in volume of data and intuitiveness with various data visualization options and therefore increases the importance of control on data flow and need for all participants – data managers, designers and developers – to understand BI 2.0 and prepare business users for it.
