There are a lot of really interesting things happening in BI. First, many accounting and some business grads are now coming with database knowledge. They're able to gain insights from data that the older generations in this space didn't have the skills to do. Way more interesting to me are advances like Amazon's QuickSight [1] which is geared towards business data. You can just upload stuff (CSVs, ERP databases, etc.) and, perhaps, gain some insights. As they build intelligence around similar business data sets it should improve over time. Next big thing, perhaps not. But definitely something to keep an eye on, at least in my space.

SAP Cloud for Analytics [0] (tutorials/how the software works is available for free @ YouTube[1]).
What sets SAP C4A apart from the competitor is a product/vertical app built on-top of SAP C4A platform: Digital Boardroom [2] (pics behind the guy is from production software) where the execs can see the company performance (Financials, Perf, or other metrics) Actual and Forecast in real-time. Better predictive capabilities are in development (Predictive Analytics).
Have to agree with parent, BI is beginning to heat up (again). I'm noticing a sense of new excitement from the customers or potential customers that we approached...
