Microsoft Gets Gartner's Business Intelligence Top Ranking www.informationweek.com
Business Objects and Cognos have long been considered the leaders in business intelligence platforms. But in a surprising new report, Gartner ranks Microsoft ahead of those companies in its ability to execute.
Business Objects, Cognos, and Microsoft were placed among the leaders in Gartner's just-released Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms, 2008. But the research firm placed Microsoft above the other two in its ability to execute, including the competitiveness and success of its BI goods and services, its viability and investment in BI, and the execution of its sales and pricing. In last year's BI platform report, Gartner put Microsoft in the challenger quadrant.

Market Outlook: Microsoft's Looming Impact on the Business Intelligence and Performance Management Market
In May 2007, Microsoft hosted over 2,500 partners, customers, prospects, analysts and competitors at its first ever business intelligence (BI) conference in Seattle, WA. The event-a formal launch of its broad BI and performance management (PM) suite-was the culmination of many years of effort that included lots of core development, specific acquisitions to fill gaps, and integration of distinct product lines. The result is a compelling strategy: Deliver pervasive BI/PM to the masses at a fraction of the cost of competitive products.
Because of Microsoft's ubiquitous presence within enterprises of all sizes, its BI/PM products will certainly have long-term impact on how buyers perceive and purchase information-based products across all areas of their companies.
