Whether it's the attraction of speedy implementation and immediate access to new features, or the desire to avoid large upfront investments in hardware and software — our research shows that, for a majority of enterprises, the benefits of obtaining business intelligence (BI) and analytics capabilities through signing up for an offering based on software-as-a-service (SaaS) now outweigh the risks.
That's not to say that the risks have disappeared. Indeed there's still a considerable proportion of companies that say they have no plans to avail themselves of cloud-based services for their BI needs. But it's clear that while risks are taken into account, they're not the insurmountable stumbling block that's often painted.
