The Business Intelligence software market

July 27th, 2003 by Mark Rittman

The Business Intelligence software market shake-up continues: Hyperion are looking to buy Brio. Significantly, this will give Hyperion a presence in the relational reporting market, whilst giving Brio a bit of breathing space after their ill-conceived purchase of Sqribe Technologies in 1999.

So what now for Cognos and Microstrategy. According to sources on comp.databases.olap, Microstrategy is an obvious aquisition target for Oracle, whilst another reckons the immenant introduction of Microsoft Reporting Services means time’s up for relational reporting vendors.

    Can you help me please? I have a presentation for a job interview (position : IT recruitment consultant) and I have to research the Business Intelligence Software market and present a breakdown of the key players in the UK. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what are the best relevant websites please?
    Thanks,
