Summary

LucidEra is a software-as-a-service

(SaaS) vendor that markets analytical applications built on a complete business intelligence (BI) platform that features some open source components. The company is in the process of expanding beyond Salesforce.com customers to broaden its audience, starting with Oracle Order Management users. It is not the only SaaS BI provider in town and, like its peers, it has still to prove itself, but it is one of the most promising. Salesforce.com customers should investigate its offering.
