In Search of Insight presents an overview of traditional business intelligence solutions and the challenges of using these solutions to meet business needs. Nicholls interprets industry trends affecting the evolution of BI tools, such as data security, longevity, volume and real-time capabilities, and then shows how these trends drive BI 2.0 solutions to improve the way enterprises access and analyze data.

One highlight of the evolving business intelligence field is event-stream processing, in which real-time data is extracted "in-flight" from middleware and used, along with historical data, to make real-time business decisions. Nicholls concludes that intelligence has to be built into automated processes for organizations to win competitive battles. BI 2.0 solutions embed intelligence within processes to ensure truly insightful and actionable business results.
