The range of BI/DW technologies and approaches is exploding almost as fast as our data volumes. We have agile methodology, cloud computing, text analytics, virtualization, open source, software-as-a-service, cool BI, social media, and mobile BI. We have Hadoop and MapReduce and deep analytics for big data. What does it all mean for your BI program?

Will these emerging technologies make your job easier or harder?
