Here is a summary of recent activity at Dresner Advisory. 

Data Collection 

We are wrapping up the mid year data collection process and sincerely appreciate your participation and efforts to drive in customer responses.  

The mid-year program informs our 2023 Embedded BI thematic report and early 2024 titles including Analytical Data Infrastructure (flagship), Data Engineering, Workforce Planning and Analysis, and Supply Chain Planning and Analysis, as well as two new titles: Active Data Architecture, and Generative AI thematic reports.  

While we have reached the official deadline, if you need extra time to reach out to your customers or have questions on the process, please contact Michelle.  

Market Studies 

We published the 3rd Financial Consolidation and Close Management, and 6th Sales Performance Management Market Studies in October. Next up is the 3rd edition Analytical Platforms thematic market study, slated for publication this month. We will round out the 2023 market studies agenda with our 11th annual Embedded BI Market Study in December.  

A current list of 2023 market study titles and projected publication dates is on the portal welcome page.
