The Leading Vendors in the Business Intelligence Market (Competitor Focus)

The Business Intelligence (BI) market is maturing and one of the dominant trends is consolidation. As a result, a handful of vendors consistently occupy the positions of market leaders. Despite the dominance of the vendors offering compelling and comprehensive BI platforms, specialist vendors are capable of carving out niches for their solutions.



Report Highlights
SAS, Oracle, Business Objects and Cognos achieve the highest technology ratings overall. Many other vendors feature among the market leaders but usually within specific pockets of expertise. Well-established pure-play vendors, such as Business Objects or SAS, and larger diversified vendors, like Oracle and IBM, have the highest impact on the market. Their market leadership is driven by large installed bases, the size of their BI-related revenues and global market presence. User sentiment also favours larger conglomerate vendors, especially IBM, as these giant vendors have an advantage in terms of the ability to maintain a high-profile in the market and support their solutions with high levels of service capability.
