I did think of Open Source BI when I was putting this post together (I've stayed in touch with Nick from Pentaho). I must admit I am well predisposed towards open source, but I've yet to see much significant take-up (amongst customers with budgets to spend on consultancy, to be honest) in the UK, so I guess this has lead to me passing it over up until now. As I said though, I am keeping an eye on developments at Pentaho, hopefully I'll get a chance to take a closer look later this year. Ram - again, good point. So far, from my perspective, I've not seen much predictive analytics takeup, but that could just be the particular type of customer I've been working with lately. I'm going to take part in the data mining event you're running soon though, hopefully I'll get a quick handle on where the technology is now and I can start to make some proper use of it. regards Mark Joseph – good point.

Do you see any interest from your BI customers on predictive technologies and application areas - customer churn, fraud detection, cross-sell, and so forth? Or are most of them content to cough up 100K x to SAS, SPSS and other analytics tools vendors for a few licenses in the CFO's, business strategy offices, without any operational impact?

I notice that your list of other BI technologies and trends doesn't contain anything from the open source world. We're finding some richly innovative, highly adaptive, affordable solutions in that area. Mark, you wrote “To get more exposure to BI tools and technologies outside of the world of Oracle…”.
