Business Intelligence Software Market

This IDC study presents some of the results and analysis of IDC's Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Software Exclusive Survey, 2008 that was carried out in March/April 2008. The key objective of this survey is to gain a better understanding of the general software usage and experiences of enterprises in different Asia/Pacific markets. More specifically, this study sought to understand customers' perceptions on the technology/product and process innovation of vendors in the APEJ business intelligence (BI) software market."IDC believes that innovation will gain in significance as BI is transforming and converging with other technologies while expanding into new market segments," says Ullrich Loeffler, program manager, Software Research, IDC A/NZ. "In order to convert high innovation mindshare into BI adoption and market share, technology providers will need to prove that they can provide business-relevant BI solutions that ensure long-term and sustainable business value to their customers."
