More from Forrester's IT Forum: Gigaworld

I got to review a great report today written by Forrester Analyst Keith Gile and team. Title "TheForrester Wave: BI Reporting and Analysis Platforms, Q1 2006" It's an interesting look at the state and direction for Analytic Reporting and Enterprise Reporting. Forrester evaluated 10 leading business intelligence (BI), database, and application vendors across 92 criteria and found Business Objects has established early BI platform leadership, followed by Cognos. Hyperion, MicroStrategy, and SAS offer strong enterprise analytics, while Actuate and Information Builders are strong in enterprise reporting and scalability. Microsoft's latest release offers tighter integration with Microsoft Office, while Oracle and SAP emphasize integration with their respective enterprise applications over deeper reporting functionality.

The report is available at the Forrester site.
