As it did last year, Gartner has identified business intelligence as one of the top 10 strategic technologies for 2009. As the research firm notes, BI can have "a direct positive impact on a company's business performance, dramatically improving its ability to accomplish its mission by making smarter decisions at every level of the business from corporate strategy to operational processes. BI is particularly strategic because it is directed toward business managers and knowledge workers who make up the pool of thinkers and decision makers that are tasked with running, growing and transforming the business."
