Natural Language Query (NLQ) is Key for Self-Service BI

“Today, only two out of five (40%) organizations report their people can analyze data without getting help from IT, according to Ventana Research. To better enable business users to interrogate their data independently, certain BI vendors now provide a natural language query (NLQ) capability that sits alongside their dashboards and reporting.
Natural language query is a self-service BI tool that provides the ability for an analytics user to ask a question using non-technical language and get an automatically generated answer instantly. Using data modeling and machine learning technologies to parse questions for key terms, NLQ scans related databases and generates a tailored report or chart that provides relevant insight.”
