Short summary
Forrester argues the long-standing question of how business users should access data has evolved from reports and dashboards to generative AI natural-language prompts. The post suggests the framing itself may be wrong and points toward multimodal, semantic, and agentic enterprise data as the next paradigm. It is a strategic perspective aimed at analytics and BI leaders rethinking their data access strategies.

- •Forrester proposes multimodal, semantic, and agentic data as the future direction
- •The traditional question of 'one best way to access data' may itself need rethinking
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
