Is Google getting into Business Intelligence?

Firstly, did you know what is Business Intelligence (BI) ?

BI: is the ways in which we store and use information. It encompass the technologies, applications and means for collecting, integrating, analyzing and presenting business data.

Secondly, 

Our most familiar search engine,Google

Google launches Data Explorer which is a new powerful visualization tool that lets you explore, visualize and share the data.

Its a question that I'm sure keeps some software executives awake at night!!! They have all but taken over the web analytics space causing market leaders to  move away from the segment all together. With the recent launch of Google Public Data Explorer they are now dipping their toe into the world of data analysis and visualization. Coupled with the recent surge of freely available online databases like OECD Factbook, Un-Employment in the US from the Bureau of Labor and a dozen or so others. Google is truly delivering easy to use and somewhat powerful analytics tools to the masses.

The interface is easy and simple to use includes lots of sliders and click boxes. They have even integrated Google maps into the application to supply simple Geo based features. Its clear that Google could step into the Enterprise Software space pretty easily and with the SaaS and Cloud foundation they already have in place they are well positioned to be a disruptor in the business intelligence arena.

Finally, ,if this feature becomes popular, it will make it a whole lot easier for people and agencies to use one another’s data that allows people to explore various data sets.In my opinion,most of the  data providers will make their data available through this technology to increase the use of data in the general discussion about the world.   Meanwhile, what do you think regarding on this issues?
