Small Business Gets Business Intelligence Too

December 17, 2012

Many enterprise information management vendors target larger enterprise organizations that can stomach paying big bucks to manage information. There are more and more small businesses with savvy ownership looking to extract value from big data, however. Several very affordable options are outlined in the Terra article, “Data Crunch: 5 Analysis Tools for Small Businesses.”

Tech giant Google obviously has a solution in this arena, like they do in every other arena. The Application Gallery is an app market connecting third-party developers to Google Analytics to essentially expand its features.

We learned:

“Google Apps Application Gallery can be a place to start for owners looking to upgrade their data analysis IQ quickly and easily. Price: You can browse the Application Gallery for free. You can purchase apps for varying fees. Hub’scan runs $750 for 250,000 analyzed pages, LogMycalls is free to start, with paid services running $29 per month.”

Additionally, the other four solutions are: WolframAlpha’s Facebook Reports, Quantum Leap Buzz, JackBe Presto, and Recorded Future. Business intelligence for small business has definitely arrived. The only question remaining is whether or not these tiny companies have the resources to use it.
