We complete our review with the optimistic quotation from Chapter 13: "... the future of the business intelligence industry lies in systems that can predict, optimize, and adapt – put another way, the future of the industry lies in Adaptive Business Intelligence". Hopefully, this book will speed up our progress to such a future." (Antanas Zilinskas, Vilnius Pedagogical University, Interfaces – Int.
