1. How are vendors and products selected for inclusion in the scorecards? Vendors are selected based on a combination of market share and mind share. Marketshare is not easy to determine as many research firms define the BI market in different ways, so then I rely on mindshare, or which vendors companies seem to be evaluating most frequently. This initial round of six vendors was selected based on feedback from existing customer evaluations and from The Data Warehouse Institute (TDWI) course attendees. Back To Top 2. Do vendors sponsor this research? No, although they may subscribe to the web site. Back To Top 3. How are products evaluated? Product are evaluated hands-on. I also rely on vendor documentation, customer references, news group postings, and vendor briefings. Back To Top 4. How long have you been evaluating BI products?
