Dresner Advisory April 2025 News
“It’s exciting to see the changes since the early days of cloud-based solutions and not surprising to see cloud now ranked as a top initiative. Traditional organizations have been adopting cloud services, even as many new enterprises have shifted to cloud-native or cloud-first…moving the topic from fringe to strategic, and ultimately, to competitive.”
– Howard Dresner founder and chief research officer
Hello and Happy Spring! Here’s a look at recent and upcoming activity at Dresner Advisory.

 


Market Studies

We published the 3rd annual Supply Chain Planning and Analysis thematic market study in mid-March and just released the Cloud Computing + BI thematic market study, now its 14th year.

Analysts are putting the final touches on the Active Data Architecture Market Study, and our inaugural Semantic Layer report both scheduled for publication mid-month.

At the end of April, we will release the 10th Self-Service along with the companion reports on Guided Analytics and Collective Insights.

 

Expected 2025 titles and dates are listed here.

 

Research Insights

 

Research Insights are topical in nature and targeted at our end user constituents. They provide a concise discussion of the important issues that are front and center for data leaders today. Recent titles include:

 

–       It’s Not a Packaged-Only World – BI Success Requires Strong Development Skills

–       There’s No Lock on EPM from the ERP Vendors

–       Hyper-Decisive Is Not Necessarily Hyper Speed: Align Data Recency with Business Needs for Optimal BI Tempo

 

Your client copies can be viewed and downloaded via the portal and are for internal use. If you would like to distribute any of the Research Insights titles, you may leverage your units to do so – contact me for details.

New Year Data Collection

 

We are entering the home stretch of end user data collection.

 

If you are still working to collect customer input, please remember to encourage your customers to rate you in the appropriate section(s) of the end-user survey. We appreciate your efforts!

 

If you have questions about the process, please reach out directly to Michelle and she will be happy to assist you.

 

 

Leveraging Your Analyst Time

As a subscriber you can leverage our analysts in your outbound efforts such as speaking at your customer events, presenting with you/on your behalf at industry conferences, and participating in podcasts and other digital events.

You can also harness our analysts’ expertise with advisory sessions – we can engage on a range of topics, including competitive analyses, product strategy and roadmap, positioning and marketing messaging, go-to-market strategy, just to name a few.

The first step is to have a scoping call so we can understand your goals, objectives, and timeline. Please let me know how we can work with you in the coming months.

 

 

As always, we thank you for your continued support.
