Ventana Research has conducted benchmark research to gather data on the prioritization for BI and performance management and identify the desired elements of a comprehensive approach, examining in particular attitudes toward the platform and organizations’ BI related needs for modeling, reporting, analytics, planning, search, collaboration, portals, dashboards and scorecards, alerting, spreadsheets, and mobility. It explored what business users, managers and executives believe is needed and what IT believes it will have to support. The research examined the importance to potential customers of factors such as usability, manageability, reliability, functionality, adaptability, supplier validation, the business case for return on investment (ROI) and the total cost of ownership (TCO).

We assessed how organizations are using and advancing their use of BI and performance management as part of their operational and management related processes. This research will help executives and managers to better understand how to improve their efforts with specific knowledge on best and worst practices. It will enable you to determine how to align an organization’s people, processes, information and technology to improve through the use of BI and performance management. Ventana Research believes that with proper planning and execution, companies that deploy BI and performance management can achieve a competitive advantage.
