Business Intelligence (BI) versus Data Science (DS)

Steve Miller of Information Management offers this summary of the key distinctions between business intellience (BI) and data science (DS):
Below is a summarization of what I currently see as some of the differences between DS and BI. I consider the observations preliminary, more gray than black and white. My hope is that in time the “best practices” of BI will weigh positively on DS – and vice-verse. Just as I think BI will benefit from a deeper focus on approximate answers and ubiquitous machine learning, data science should appreciate what's been learned over the years in BI on methodology and governance.
