Hopefully, bringing the look at BI value back to the basics will provide additional value and help organizations that may find the market confusing (I know I would if I didn’t speak to vendors on a daily basis – and even so, differentiations, inherent value, etc. can become a blur after awhile).

So far, solution providers such as IBM(Cognos), QlikView, Klipfolio, Visual Mining, Corda, InetSoft, just to name a few and in no particular order, have participated by filling out a survey that identifies product and service offerings, some key features, and general market fit.  

Anyway, even though I’ve done some preliminary research based on the results, the final close date is the end of March.  I’m looking forward to seeing the results and will keep you posted as some of the results come in.
