Ventana Research today released its 2019 Value Index for Embedded Analytics and Business Intelligence, a quantified, research-based index evaluating technology providers and products. This Value Index assesses analytic product adequacy across a broad range of requirements, all with a focus on embedding analytics where businesses need it.
The Value Index for Embedded Analytics and Business Intelligence is based on a comprehensive examination of fifteen vendors' products in seven evaluation categories, five that evaluate the products' ability to support the breadth and depth of business needs around analytics and two that address vendor validation and total cost of ownership/return on investment.
The Value Index assesses the effectiveness of each vendor's support for the buying process and customer assurance. The Value Index is not just a selection of "cool" products or latest features; the Value Index provides specific numerical ratings, both overall and for each of the seven components of the Value Index, for technology buyers to consider instead of evaluating a vendor primarily on its vision or market execution. Organizations can use the Value Index as a guide to assess existing systems and providers to determine if their provider best meets their needs today and in the future.
“Analytics play a crucial role in differentiating a business and providing a competitive advantage,“ said David Menninger, SVP and Research Director at Ventana Research. “Because of their importance, analytics must be embedded in business processes and applications, making information access easier and more direct for the person taking action on those analytics. The Value Index will help businesses and organizations evaluate which vendors best meet their needs and requirements for embedding analytics.”
Because of the importance the analytics access plays in a business and the wide range of capabilities evaluated in the Value Index, Ventana Research believes this assessment provides a unique view specific to embedded requirements that was not fully reflected in the Overall Value Index on Analytics and Business Intelligence. Like the Overall Value Index and it’s mobile subset, the Embedded Analytics and Business Intelligence Value Index is neither sponsored nor influenced by technology vendors and is conducted solely in pursuit of Ventana Research's vision to illuminate the value of technology through unique insights.
