2011 LogiXML BI Survey
While most companies indicated they will increase their spending on business intelligence (BI) over 2011, many attributed failed BI implementations, BI underperformance, and the inability to meet the needs of BI end-users to a lack of IT resources, according to this survey by LogiXML, the pioneer of web-based business intelligence software.
When LogiXML asked 575 professionals across several industries what their greatest impediment to deploying BI was, 26 percent said they didn’t have the IT staff resources available, while 27 percent stated it was cost prohibitive. Company IT departments that were seeing an increased demand for BI within their organizations were, for the most part, adding more technologies (37 percent) or not meeting the demand (32 percent). And while 40 percent of respondents embed BI into their existing applications, the majority of those that do not—20 percent—said they don’t have the in-house expertise to do so.
Overall dissatisfaction with existing BI was fairly widespread. Forty-nine percent of respondents who identified themselves as a non-technical senior executive, business manager or business user said they were dissatisfied with IT’s ability to deliver BI functionality. Thirty-three percent of respondents who identified themselves as a technical manager, executive or developer said they were dissatisfied. A combined 68 percent of non-technical respondents were dissatisfied or indifferent with the responsiveness and support of their BI vendor; fifty-three percent of technical respondents were dissatisfied or indifferent.
