This is the 15th edition of our cloud computing and business intelligence (BI) study. This year, we are publishing our analysis as a Special Report rather than a full-length market study. Although the format shift reflects the market’s maturity, it should not lead our readers to make the mistaken conclusion that the conversation around cloud BI is no longer relevant.
During the nearly a decade and a half we have spent tracking this space, cloud BI adoption has reached record levels. Nevertheless, cloud adoption is still not a foregone conclusion for all organizations. A meaningful share continues to want or need on-premises deployment—whether for regulatory, security, cost, cultural, or architectural reasons. These organizations are not lagging behind; many have made deliberate, well-informed decisions about where their data and applications should reside. Unlike other analyst organizations, we have not simply written off the on-premises market. The cloud “refuseniks,” as some might call them, are not going away.
