- 12. Open Source Everywhere “By 2012, 80 percent of all commercial software will include elements of open-source technology ” Many open-source technologies are mature, stable and well supported. They provide significant opportunities for vendors and users to lower their total cost of ownership and increase returns on investment. Ignoring this will put companies at a serious competitive disadvantage. Embedded open source strategies will become the minimal level of investment that most large software vendors will find necessary to maintain competitive advantages during the next five years. Gartner Group, 2008 12

- 17. #BigData, what about Data Quality? • Problems – Low conversion-rate on Marketing Campaigns. – Product return for incorrect addresses. – ‘Complex’ Data Migrations. – Management Reports not trusted by the users. • Cause – Polluted Customer Contact details. – Incorrect name, address, phone/fax/mobile or email. – Different standards in each Source. Data Quality through Steps in Pentaho.

- 24. ...and my take on it ⇨ The Bad News: ⇨ iPad plugin is Analyzer only (!), plus it's broken... ⇨ iPad/iPhone will be overtaken by Android ⇨ Hadoop is a niche product ⇨ Metadata incomparable to e.g. Oracle, IBM, SAP ⇨ Agile BI with single table input is a gimmick ⇨ The Good News: Support IS (was?) excellent! 24

- 38. SAP-BO Summary ⇨ Different suites, different scope, different pricing ⇨ Enterprise Professional ('Classic' BO) ⇨ Enterprise Premium (Incl Dashboarding & Encyclopedia) ⇨ Lots of Apps (Strategy Mngt, Budgetting, Consolidation, etc) ⇨ Edge Series (Midmarket, 3 editions) ⇨ Unbeatable in ad-hoc reporting ⇨ SAP-BO 4.0 the killer suite ? ⇨ Meta-data layer including data federation (ORCL BI Server) ⇨ Explorer finally usable? 38
- 39. SAP BO 4! ⇨ Finally released, including Edge ⇨ Notable features: ⇨ Universes add (some) federation & OLAP capabilities ⇨ Xcelsius now Dashboard Designer (Flash ! = no iPad ;-)) ⇨ Integrated lifecycle management (based on SVN) ⇨ Knockoffs: ⇨ 'Heavy' & complex 39
- 40. But... ...when considering BO vs other BI vendors a major decision point is that while each BO tool (Crystal, WebIntelligence, Explorer, Xcelcius, etc) has market leading functionality, there’s little product to product integration. Basically these are all separate products running on the same administrative platform and sharing the same data access layer (Universe), but you design, build and support these products separately. Other BI vendors offer much more integrated platforms. The next release of BO (currently in “ramp up” stage – meaning you have to specifically request it) which should hit the shelves later this winter will address some, but not all, product to product integration issues Boris Evelson, Forrester Research 40

- 47. QlikView ⇨ The Good stuff ⇨ It looks extremely sexy! ⇨ Powerful Dashboarding capabilities ⇨ Highly compressed (10:1) very, very fast in memory database ⇨ The Weak points ⇨ 'You don't need a data warehouse' ->yeah, right... ⇨ Focus on interactive analysis: limited user scope ⇨ Need to build applications for end users ('Excel Hell' in QV) ⇨ Reporting, anyone? ⇨ No (predictive) analytics, workflow, complex ETL (need INFA) ⇨ And... it's much more expensive than everyone thinks! 47
- 48. Pentaho EE vs 'Rest' Summary ⇨ Pentaho EE doesn't (yet) stack up to the big guys, so ⇨ Avoid feature by feature comparisons ⇨ Be careful with the cost advantage (esp. w. MSFT) ⇨ Focus on PDI, Agile BI & Analyzer ⇨ Focus on embedding & extensibility ⇨ What would help (in POC's!): ⇨ Better visualization! (Protovis, anyone?->CCC!) ⇨ Interactive Dashboards (CDE!) ⇨ Default tabs linked to groups (CDT!) 48
- 49. About Dashboards.... ⇨ Killer feature in POC's ⇨ QlikView basically does only one thing, but they do it VERY well ⇨ Watch out for Business Objects Dashboards (a.k.a. Xcelsius) ⇨ New kid on the block: Dundas Dashboards ⇨ Microstrategy does pretty good too ⇨ The rest is, well, nothing to worry about ;-) Let's see if you recognize them! 49
