Of this, BI Platform alone reaped a revenue of $26.2 million or 64.4 per cent, while the rest was accounted for by Analytic Applications and Performance Management.

Both the BI platform and the analytic applications and performance management (including corporate performance management) areas performed strongly with growth rates of 61.9 per cent and 53.2 per cent respectively.

“Industry consolidation has led to an increase in growth, despite the necessary product rationalizations and organizational changes,” said Bhavish Sood, Principal Research Analyst at Gartner. “The large stack vendors, both application and database vendors, have put a lot of focus and sales power behind their newly acquired BI products, with accelerated migrations and upgrades in the installed base as a result,” Sood added.

“Decision making in India historically has been based on either 'gut feeling' or on the business experience of its managers. But now, BI will allow enterprises to make more fact-based decisions”, Sood said.

BI promotes revenue growth and faster innovation through shorter product and service life cycles and enable the companies to find where value is being created in the business.
