2007 2006

‘BI is High on the Agenda’ – Newsweek Australia

In 2006 35% of companies said their BI tools were scattered throughout the departments and the company

That’s down to 25% this year Only 25% of firms surveyed provide BI tools to more than 15% of their employees BUT nearly 60% say they will do so within 2 years. More than half report that integration and compatibility are main barriers to adopting BI

company-wide When evaluating a vendor, nearly 80% of respondents are interested in the vendor’s

ability to integrate its offerings with existing applications and provide service and support Ease of use is also an issue. 40% cite the need to undertake time-consuming and

expensive training as major obstacle to BI adoption About 1/3 report finding skilled BI talent is challenging and expensive.

Business AnalyticsBusiness AnalyticsBI Roundup – Views From Gartner SummitBI Roundup – Views From Gartner Summit

“Microsoft Emerges as a Serious BI Contender. The biggest takeaway from the conference was the surge of enterprise interest in Microsoft’s BI capabilities”

Vendors Can No Longer Ignore Microsoft’s BI ThreatThe conventional wisdom has held that Microsoft would be likely to see success in the Small to Medium business market but would struggle at the enterprise. Multiple comments from users and integrators suggest otherwise.

While the pure-play BI vendors enjoy near-term tactical advantage in terms of having field sales efforts attuned to customer needs, it is only a matter of time before Microsoft’s partner ecosystem becomes more broadly engaged in the market.
