Dresner Advisory December 2024 News |
| Our 4th annual Analytical Platforms Report reflects a dynamic landscape where the conversation around platforms gained considerable momentum. In this edition, we delve into the critical question facing many organizations today: whether to adopt a single-vendor technology platform that offers a comprehensive suite of core analytical and BI capabilities, or to pursue a “best-of-breed” approach that combines specialized solutions from multiple providers. This decision is increasingly pivotal as organizations work to consolidate resources, streamline analytics operations, and ensure scalability. | Here is a summary of recent activity at Dresner Advisory.
We published the 4th annual edition of the Analytical Platforms thematic market study. Analytical Platforms are integrated technology environments that include all needed functionality to support multiple analytical or BI use cases, including data engineering, data catalog, self-service BI, data science and machine learning, embedded BI or analytics, and cloud support. Next up is Embedded BI, scheduled for publication mid-month. This will conclude our 2024 Market Studies agenda with a record-breaking 27 market studies published this year, including new titles covering Generative AI and Active Data Architecture, and several companion reports. Market Studies are the life blood of our organization, and it has been our pleasure to provide this encyclopedic body of research to our readership this year.

2025 New Year Data Collection
In January we will begin the New Year data collection process which will inform our 2025 BI and EPM flagship market studies as well as all thematic reports scheduled for 2Q and 3Q. Keeping consistent with our long-established methods, the process will commence with vendor information sessions held across several dates and times in mid-January.
