Best Business Intelligence and Data Analytics products of 2006
SearchDataManagement.com staff
Since Gartner analyst Howard Dresner coined the term "business intelligence" (BI) 10 years ago, it has progressed from yet another trendy acronym to spending priority for the majority of CIOs. BI is clearly now an essential part of the modern agile enterprise.
BI vendors have consolidated and applications have matured but IT departments still face a bewildering array of products. To help you narrow down the field, we here at SearchDataManagement.com put together a panel of BI experts who went over 16 of the leading products to determine the "best of the best" in the BI market. The judges used the following criteria:
- Innovation
- Performance
- Ease of integration into environment
- Ease of use and manageability
- Functionality
- Value
We hope that you find these awards useful and that they will help you make a successful purchasing decision at your company. And congratulations to the winner -- and to all of the nominees, which gave our panel of judges quite a challenge!
