On July 12th I'm participating in a roundtable with Jonathan Wu and Shawn Rogers to discuss whether "SaaS BI is right for your organization?"

Oddly enough, despite the increasing adoption of SaaS and its expanding popularity, BI offerings are still limited.  Vendors, such as Birst, offer full scale BI offerings, but many others still offer targeted solutions. This means that SaaS BI may be a bit of a piecemeal approach to BI when organizations want a full-scale BI offering. On the flip side, data warehousing service providers are becoming more common for businesses looking to house their data externally. Add to this cloud computing and more companies will begin to consider SaaS BI as a viable alternative to on premises offerings. Is your organization looking at SaaS BI? And if so, what about it appeals to your organization?

If you are interested in participating in the roundtable please post your questions, sign up, or comment on this blog and I'll be sure to add the questions to the ones we discuss.
