“The Future of Open Source in BI”
Davy Nys (Pentaho) explains the growing “Open Source” market in Business Intelligence.
The birth of “Performance Management” – 2007 : Consolidation of an entire industry (Part 1)
2007 has been quite an amazing year for the market of Business Intelligence and Corporate Performance Management. More than 15 billion $ was spent in Mergers & Acquisitions, mainly by the software industry giants SAP, Oracle & IBM, to acquire the crown jewels of the BI & CPM market. Rarely a complete industry consolidated that quickly, but then again … the stakes are high. In this "Insight", we reflect on the sequence of events & the drivers for the consolidation. In a second part, we will dive into the impact this will have on our profession & our Performance Management initiatives in the short term.
