Market Reports

We published the 2nd edition Environmental, Social, and Governance Reporting and the 3rd annual Master Data Management reports in July.

Special Reports

We issued two Special Reports in July, one covering IBM, Oracle, SAP, and Teradata Data Warehouse Platforms, and the other examining the offerings and positioning of Tableau (Salesforce) and Microsoft Power BI.
“Vendor ratings are driven completely by customer input, weighing users’ firsthand experience with their vendors. We congratulate the Industry Excellence winners on receiving this high recognition from their customers this year.”

Howard Dresner, founder and chief research officer at Dresner Advisory Services.

Industry Excellence Awards

In July we announced our annual Industry Excellence Awards acknowledging vendors who achieved leadership this year’s flagship Analytical Data Infrastructure (ADI), Business Intelligence (BI), or Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Market Studies.

The winners have achieved leadership status in the reports’ two industry-rating models. The Customer Experience model considers the real-world experience of customers as they work with a vendor’s technology solution on a daily basis, plotting various customer touch points against sentiment surrounding product and technology.

The Vendor Credibility Model considers a vendor’s relationship with customers, plotting perceived value for price paid against a calculated “confidence” score.

Congratulations to this year’s winners!

Mid-Year Data Collection is in full swing! The data we collect supports the 4Q24 and 1Q25 market studies, including Embedded BI, Analytical Data Infrastructure, Workforce Planning and Analysis, Supply Chain Planning and Analysis, Data Engineering, Generative AI, and Active Data Architecture.

ADI vendors:  please remind your customers to rate you in that section of the survey.

Please reach out to Michelle with any questions or if you need help with your vendor survey or your customer outreach.
