Business Intelligence Driven By Compliance, Standardization, And Performance Initiatives

by Keith Gile

with Philip Russom, Connie Moore, Lucy Fossner

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

The market for business intelligence (BI) reporting and analysis solutions exceeded $5.5 billion in 2004, up from $5.3 billion in 2003. Reporting and analysis is essential to addressing compliance and measuring corporate performance, but standardizing on a single BI platform for all reporting needs is still a few years away. Most Global 2,000 companies have between five and 15 separate reporting and analysis solutions in use, placing a strain on IT resources and calling into question the integrity of the data in any one report. Consequently, the market is transitioning from departmental tools to enterprise solutions.

We gathered or estimated all of the following for 19 pure-play BI, applications platform BI, and database platform BI vendors: BI revenues for 2003 and 2004, BI license revenue, BI services revenue specific to these BI vendors (not consultancies or SIs), and maintenance revenue specific to these BI vendors. Revenues were calculated on a worldwide basis, and smaller vendors, privately held vendors, and platform vendors that do not break out BI revenue separately from their other product revenues without public access to revenues were estimated.
