Computer Weekly: Research firm Gartner says that enterprises spent 13.4 percent more on business intelligence (BI) software in 2010 than they did in 2009. SAP led the market with 23 percent of all sales, followed by Oracle, IBM, SAS Institute and Microsoft.
"In 2010, the global resurgence from stimulus packages, general improvement in the macro-economy, and new product releases contributed to a surge in BI software spending," said Gartner's Dan Sommer. "BI spending has far surpassed IT budget growth overall for several years, and it is clear that BI continues to be a technology at the center of information-driven initiatives in organizations."
