Wisdom of Crowds TM Business Intelligence Market Study Update
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.

Early Insight from Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence Market Study ®
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.
>>> Please click here to take the survey <<<
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."
