Business Intelligence: An Useful and Intelligent Review
February 11, 2009
A happy quack to the reader who alerted me to Stephen Swoyer’s “How BI Habits Are Changing” here. In general, I agree with his points. What impressed me was the jargon free analysis of the changes in business intelligence. For me, the most interesting comment was:
SAP has a lot of account control in SAP shops that makes up-selling to Business Objects possible. With IBM, it seems the WebSphere and consulting services bring influence.” she [Cindi Howson — founder of BIScorecard.com] says. “Customers that are only using DB2 — so that’s all that IBM is in the account — don’t seem to be looking at Cognos in a new light. So again, it really depends who has strong account control… [emphasis added]
You may find other nuggest in Mr. Swoyer’s write up. I don’t get too excited about business intelligence, but I think one can discern a movement in this market sector that may provide some hint of what lies in the future for enterprise search and content processing. Worth reading.
