"," authored by , Research Director for the Aberdeen research practice, reveals that although organizations are developing mobile apps to remain competitive and optimize their business processes, most are not prepared to function as software producers. Finding an average 38% increase in the number of mobile apps developed by respondents between 2011 and 2012, the report identifies the pressures this increasing demand -- and resulting shortage -- of app development skills places on organizations of all sizes, and the essential steps required to master the art of Mobile Application Lifecycle Management (MALM).

"," prepared by , Senior Research Associate in Aberdeen's practice, reveals that, although banks may not be the most popular kids in class these days, this doesn't mean that they can't maintain happy, loyal customers, and manage the risk that tarnished their reputations in the first place. Aberdeen's Analytics in Financial Services survey focused a specific set of questions for respondents from the banking sector, to determine how their organizations use Business Intelligence (BI) tools to address the pressures and demands of the industry. Two of the top pressures reported by banks were the need to gather customer insight (cited by 57% of respondents) and the desire to improve risk management capabilities (31%). This report examines the benefits of using BI solutions on customer data, and the types of supporting technologies that make analytics a powerful risk management and compliance tool.

"," prepared by , Vice President and Principal Analyst, in Aberdeen's practice, states that at every level of an organization, and in almost every job role, better business decisions can be made when they are based on -- and support by -- current, relevant information. However, perhaps the most important aspect of effective business analytics is the interpretation of that information and its transformation into some form of actionable business insight. Just as it would be unreasonable to expect a plant manager to be conversant in database schemas and ETL, it would be just as irrational to expect an IT manager to have deep quality control and waste reduction expertise. Between direct line-of-business expertise, technical know-how, statistical modeling capability, or simple political savvy, everyone has something they can bring to the table when it comes to business analytics. Increasingly, companies are seeing value in building an analytics strategy around collaboration and knowledge sharing, ultimately leading to enhanced decision quality and improved business performance.

"," prepared by , Senior Research Analyst in Aberdeen's practice, states that visual data discovery tools are a relatively new addition to the spectrum of business intelligence solutions. Data collected by the Aberdeen Group in March 2011 found that employees in organizations that used visual data discovery were more likely to find the information they need, when they need it. In addition, these same companies were able to scale their use of scarce IT skills more effectively. This new research -- based on data collected in May 2013 -- reinforces those findings. In addition, Aberdeen's research demonstrates that visual data discovery can help to usher in a different, more user-driven approach to analytics.
