Like everything, the fancy designed reports (annual or otherwise) come and go out of fashion.

Yesterday it was a requirement. Today it is too expensive and the COO got credit for cutting expenses. Tomorrow the CFO is jealous of Company X's report and it's back.

Sounds like the newest buzz in biz - "Business Intelligence".

Not new anymore, that started with the "Big Data" craze back around ~2012/2013.

But at the core it makes sense - it's just businesses making better use of the tons of data their systems are generating.

I was about to dispute this because of my experience using the term widely in late 2008-2010 range but Google Trends shows you are probably more accurate on timing. I work in corp finance and BI was pushed on us early.
