So, what’s new?
The example of Birst and GoodData shows BI’s future is in the cloud. So far all cloud solution have to live with a hybrid of deployed in the cloud or in an on-premises appliance. Birst success in winning deals is based on its functional breadth, depth and strength, ease of use and low cost of ownership value proposition. This makes Birst the “new darling” of the Magic Quadrant.
“Increasingly, Gartner sees more organizations building diagnostic analytics that leverage critical capabilities, such as interactive visualization, to enable users to drill more easily into the data to discover new insights. For example, visual patterns uncovered in the data might expose an inconsistent supply chain process that is the root cause of an organization’s ability to consistently reach its goal for on-time delivery.”
“If there were a single market theme in 2012, it would be that data discovery became a mainstream architecture. For years, data discovery vendors — such as QlikTech, Salient Management Company, Tableau Software and Tibco Spotfire — received more positive feedback than vendors offering OLAP cube and semantic-layer-based architectures.”
