Decision Matrix: Selecting a Business Intelligence Tools Vendor for Performance Management (Competitor Focus)

Due to demand from enterprises looking to invest in performance management solutions, Datamonitor has developed the Performance Management Decision Matrix. The Decision Matrix provides a comprehensive and transparent view of vendor capabilities in the performance management market and presents advice on which vendors should be explored, considered and shortlisted

Report Highlights
Datamonitor identifies Performance Management as a methodology and a technology, with BI tools enabling the business methodology. This market has the potential for high growth over the next two to three years, beyond which, the market will most likely mature and commoditize.
To succeed in this market, BI tools vendors offering performance management should combine a solid architecture and support for core features with elements such as predictive analytics, robust presentation layer and interactive collaboration tools. Best-of-breed vendors will continue to be successful if they can maintain their level of expertise.
Datamonitor sees the next two to three years as the decisive period during which vendors stand to consolidate market share. Larger vendors will retain their lead and gain market share by agressively cross-selling performance management to enterprise applications, data integration and data management customers.
