Свежий Магический Квадрант Gartner по BI-платформам
14 февраля 2012 В 2011 году бизнес-пользователи продолжили усиливать свое влияние в вопросах выбора BI, зачастую предпочитая продукты для исследования данных (data discovery) в качестве дополнения или даже альтернативы традиционным BI-инструментам. Появление новых вариантов использования, типов контента и способов работы с ним окажут значительное влияние на расширение функциональных рамок BI-платформ в будущем. (Материал на английском языке)
Gartner's view is that the market for BI platforms will remain one of the fastest growing software markets, despite sluggish economic growth in some regions. Organizations continue to turn to BI as a vital tool for smarter, more agile and efficient business. According to Gartner's annual survey of CIO technology priorities, BI and analytics has once again been named the top priority for 2012, a position it has held in three of the last five years. That said, however, slow economic growth, increasingly viable low-cost alternatives and consolidation are expected to keep BI platform growth in the single-digit range in 2012 and beyond. The BI platform market's compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2015 is expected to be 8.1% (see "Forecast: Enterprise Software Markets, Worldwide, 2010-2015, 4Q11 Update").
In 2011, the BI platform market expansion was influenced by significant increases in demand from a wide array of "users": line workers, business analysts, advanced analytic professionals, business executives, customers/constituents, partners, regulators, and IT professionals. Each user type, along with their associated use cases, brought lots of variety to BI, well beyond the core query, reporting, and analysis capabilities BI platforms have long been known for. Not surprisingly, those demands often conflicted; IT leaders collaborated with business leaders to prioritize efforts based on availability of budget, people, skills, technology and (hopefully) strategic alignment. With purchases rapidly expanding in lines of business, vendors are challenged to serve multiple masters. This expansion is not a temporary aberration, but a sea change for the business analytics marketplace, and by extension for the BI platform market.
