Companies are solidifying their application portfolios and are anxious to tap into the data these systems collect. Sarbanes compliance and industry consolidation are each driving their share of BI efforts. Lastly, the competitive landscape facing most companies requires them to replace passive, inflexible reporting with proactive performance management capabilities. Nothing short of a comprehensive Business Intelligence strategy will suffice for dealing with these trends.
