Updated Top Ten Lists

When I first posted the Top Ten list, it was based on very preliminary data.

So, now with the benefit of all of the Wisdom of Crowds BI Market Study data, I am posting two new/updated Top Ten lists: The Top Ten Biggest Problems with BI Vendors and The Top Ten Areas of Greatest Satisfaction with BI Vendors.

The findings and analysis report for the Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence Market Study is just undergoing some final edits and will be officially available on April 5th! More details can be found at http://www.business-intelligence-study.com.

Best,
