4) Because Gartner Said So!
“By 2011, 25% of new business software will be
delivered as SaaS”
• September 26th, 2006

By 2009 40% of software will be delivered as a
service
• Triple Tree SaaS Update, September 2006

And the BI Analysts Agree

“O d d computing iis the future of software, and the
On-demand i hf ff dh
future of BI, at least for the small-medium size business
market, if not for a majority of standard enterprise
reporting applications. ”

3) OLTP OLAP
The on-demand focus has been on transactional
applications
• Managing sales, processing accounting transactions,
providing customer service, managing your supply chain,
executing marketing campaigns, managing HR, etc.


Still Drowning in Data with No Information
History, supply and demand bode well for on-demand
BI to soon follow
• Insight across systems needed
• Data silos on premise and “in the cloud”


2) Simple, Simple, Simple

“A vast population exists whose business intelligence
requirements have not been met to their full potential.”

On-Demand BI Can Address The Gap

Most time is spent on:
Business people want:
•
• Data integration and quality
g q y
Simplicity and flexibility
•
• Managing security and access
Zero-training interface
•
• Architectural design
Fast access to information
•
• Reducing costs
Data driven decisions
Data-driven
•
• Managing expectations
Performance management


Innovation Through Simplicity

I just want
answers,
answers not
reports!

Simple to set-up
Simple to use

Simple to buy

1) It Just Makes Sense!

We’ve talked about usability and adoption


Do You Have BI Skill Sets?
The Good:
• 18% of respondents are currently using On-Demand BI (SaaS,
Hosted, or Appliance) however 31% are planning to adopt
within 24 months

The Bad:
• 75% report the use of on-site installed BI software
applications (query/reporting, analytics, dashboards,
pp (q yp g, y , ,
scorecards, etc)

The Ugly:
• Over 70% are still using printed/static reporting and emailed
or faxed reports; 80% report “Microsoft Excel only” as their
top enabling technology.

Customization Not Configuration


Did I Mention Costs?


The Current Solution, if you Dare…

You own the system – you own the problem
