For me, the most telling and important statistic in Cutter's recent survey on the state of BI is the percentage of employees that use BI tools: 57% of respondents indicate 0%-9.99% and 70% indicate 0%-14.99% (see Graph 9 in the Survey Data section beginning on page 24). This confirms what I have long since observed -- most employees do not use business intelligence tools. Experience has also shown me that of those that do use BI tools, most use the more mundane features of the tools.
