Deep into Data Analysis

 
Hello Friends.


Since our last posting, we've been busy sorting through data and have now begun the analysis and documentation phase for the 3rd annual Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence Market Study ®!


We expect to begin releasing the findings to enterprise licensees mid May and will distribute to qualified study participants during the month of June. 


During Q3 we will also publish two new market reports on Cloud Business Intelligence and Collaborative Business Intelligence.


Here are the final demographics for the study:

Hello Folks!

We're only three weeks away from the end of data collection for the 3rd annual Wisdom of Crowds TM Business Intelligence Market Study.

Data collection will end on April 2, 2012 at 5PM ET. So, if you have not yet completed a survey, please click on this link now!

Here are some of the study demographics to date:

Geographies: To date, the study has the largest contribution from North America with 56% and EMEA contributing 26%. We are already seeing stronger participation from both Latin America and APAC this year.

Functions: As with last year, we see an almost even split between the IT and business functions. This balance will help us to compare and contrast attitudes and plans between the two groups:

Size of Company: So far this year we've had a groundswell of responses from smaller organizations, creating an interesting mix of small, medium and large companies.

For ease of reference, papers submitted by Landmark Consulting to earlier PMA Conferences are downloadable as follows:

(1)    PMA 2004 (Edinburgh): Getting The Most Out of Performance Measurement (see Paper for PMA 2004 (Final))

(2)    PMA 2006 (London): ‘Plumbed-In Performance Improvement’: Accelerating Improvement and Adaptation in Organisations (see Paper for PMA 2006 – Alan Meekings – v1.1)

As we enter our second week of data collection for the third annual Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence Market Study ® - I thought I might share an early insight from data collected this far.

Data collection continues until April 2, 2012.

As this chart indicates, to date, only a minority of respondents "completely agree" with the following statement: "My organization considers our Business Intelligence initiatives a success."

Here are some of the great comments that respondents shared to explain why they have or have not been successful with Business Intelligence:

"We were very successful with Product X. Then - Product Y came in."

Hello Folks!

I am pleased to announce that the survey process for the 3rd annual Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence Market Study ® is now officially open for input!

Like last year, you'll have an opportunity to evaluate your Business Intelligence software vendors on 32 essential criteria, plus a new "Integrity" measure.

And, this year we've expanded the study to cover a wide range of important Business Intelligence issues, including Collaborative BI and Cloud BI.

As always, qualified participants will receive a copy of the study findings.

This study is NOT sponsored by vendors or anyone else. It is intended to provide an objective view into the market and reflect the experience and opinions of Business Intelligence users. And, none of your detailed data will be shared with any outside parties!
