SaaS for BI Gets Ready to Take Off

by Curt Hall

In 2005 and 2006, we saw a resurgence of analytic service providers, with a number of BI and data warehousing vendors adopting the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. Some of these were new firms focused specifically on offering on-demand BI applications and services; some were the old established BI players launching their own on-demand offerings. Today, available on-demand BI offerings range from reporting, dashboards, and focused analytic applications (offered as licensable services) to hosted data integration services and managed data warehouses.

Still, the key question is to what extent companies are actually adopting SaaS/on-demand software to meet their BI and data warehousing requirements. In August/September 2007, Cutter Consortium conducted a survey of 119 end-user organizations worldwide designed to measure the use of various SaaS/on-demand BI and data warehousing solutions.
