7. Magic Quadrant for BI Platforms, 2008
Microsoft strengths are the pricing
and tight integration with the Office
suite, the release of the
PerformancePoint Server product in
2007, and the SQL Server products
are very attractive for the companies
that have already implemented a
Microsoft infrastructure. Plus there is
an extremely large Microsoft
Developer community.
