The rise of consumer analytics, and by that I mean analytics tools that literally anybody could and would use, could be arguably said to have begun

PaaS Strategy:  Data not Code

PaaS Strategy: Data not Code

By Bob Warfield on October 12, 2010

This is part one of a two-part series I’ve wanted to do about strategy for PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) vendors… The PaaS market is a fascinating one.  Building SaaS and Cloud apps that really take advantage of the Cloud is non-trivial.  And, as I’m fond of saying, at least 70% of the software you build winds up adding [...]

IBM Acquires Netezza – ADBMS Consolidation Heats Up

IBM Acquires Netezza – ADBMS Consolidation Heats Up

By Merv Adrian on September 20, 2010

IBM’s bid to acquire Netezza makes it official; the insurgents are at the gates. A pioneering and leading ADBMS player, Netezza is in play for approximately $1.7 billion or 6 times earnings.

6 Bullet Points of Shame for BI Endeavors

6 Bullet Points of Shame for BI Endeavors

By Bob Warfield on September 13, 2010

Fellow Enterprise Irregular Vinnie Merchandani’s “You Can’t Handle the Truth” post on BI is excellent.  He identifies what I call 6 bullet points of shame for BI endeavors that are brilliantly on the money: 1.  Most companies don’t seek out primary, real-time data. Rinse that same old data through 8 or 10 times, surface it [...]

Kalido “Cascades” Continue Cadence on Designed DW Development

By Merv Adrian on September 13, 2010

Kalido‘s ongoing evangelization of automation for governed, designed data warehouses has delivered fine results for the small, Massachusetts-based firm. In a recent conversation, the team shared recent results: a profitable fiscal year, with a Q4 that was up 35% and momentum that carried into the traditionally slow Q1 with 25% year over year growth. Since [...]

More TDWI Notes – ParAccel Rolling On, HP Stalled, Vertica Leading Insurgents

By Merv Adrian on August 20, 2010

On my second day at TDWI, I was in meetings all day – events like this are a great opportunity for analysts to catch up with many of the companies they follow at one time, and this particular one was packed with sponsors. Congrats to the folks who sell sponsorships – they had a packed [...]

Decoding BI Market Share Numbers – Play Sudoku With Analysts

Decoding BI Market Share Numbers – Play Sudoku With Analysts

By Merv Adrian on July 21, 2010

In a recent post I discussed Oracle’s market share in BI, based on a press-published chart taken from IDC data – showing Oracle coming in second. As often happens in such discussions, I got quite a few direct emails and twitter messages – some in no uncertain terms – about why the particular metric I [...]

For GoodData, SaaS Changes The Channel Model Too

By Merv Adrian on July 21, 2010

Last time I mentioned GoodData, it was in passing, as I discussed YouCalc and other SaaS BI players. In the ensuing year, many other toes have been dipped into the water. I sat down with GoodData CEO and founder Roman Stanek and Marketing VP Sam Boonin this week to catch up on how it’s all [...]

You Know You Have Big Data When…(Humor)

By Merv Adrian on July 18, 2010

One of the more philosophical questions analysts like to ask is “What is Big Data?” It’s relative – it begs the question, “what’s big?” And that is a constantly moving number, and always assessed by comparison to the ridiculous amounts some companies work with. But Big Data as a concept in IT parlance today tends [...]
