2011 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms
The Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms presents a global view of Gartner's opinion of the main software vendors that should be considered by organizations seeking to develop business intelligence (BI) applications. As defined by Gartner, "BI platforms enable users to build applications that help organizations learn and understand their business." *
Gartner describes leaders as “vendors that are reasonably strong in the breadth and depth of their BI platform capabilities, and can deliver on enterprise-wide implementations that support a broad BI strategy.”
According to Gartner, “…many independent vendors continue to drive innovation and show resilience with loyal and satisfied customers and fit with heterogeneous processes despite unfounded post-consolidation market speculation of their imminent death.”
