BI & Analytics Insights, Market Trends

The global Business Intelligence and Analytics Software Market is expected to grow from $17.90 billion in 2014 to $26.78 billion by 2019, at a
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. [1]
Global SaaS-based BI market to grow at a CAGR of 30.93% over the period 2013-2018. Cloud vendors such as Domo, Birst, GoodData, etc. have
remained niche players till now. Tableau has launched its cloud BI platform in 2013, while Microsoft and Qlik in 2015. [2]
Self Service BI with specialty vendors (Tableau, Domo, Logianalytics) are growing rapidly due to adoption to new technology such as visual
analytics and mega vendors (SAP, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP) which offers traditional suite solutions are stagnating.
Self Service BI platforms provides advanced visualization techniques such as easy querying language, natural language search or visual
analytics to make the process of querying easier for business users, thus reducing the dependency on IT and analysts.
Traditional players uses on-premises based solutions. However, an increasing cloud adoption by newly founded companies and customers
alike is forcing conventional players to move into cloud. Small and Medium Businesses are primarily adopting SaaS solutions owing to lesser
upfront capital.
Relational database solutions are still holding major market share. SAP reported $3.1b revenue in 2014, the highest among all vendors.,
followed by Oracle, IBM, SAS and Microsoft respectively. [3]
BI is evolving beyond traditional back office functionalities, and is including BigData Analytics to provide real time alerting and monitoring
insights, rather than just being a data management tool.
Big data (which comprises of nearly 80% of the business data) capabilities have been adopted to analyze unstructured high volume of data
from social networking sites. Other sources includes unstructured CRM/ERP data such as emails, picture, text i.e. the metadata other than the
Relational sources. BI capabilities have been improved to integrate the data directly from the HDFS and NoSQL filesystems.
BI Vertical industry vendors are trying to differentiate themselves by offering industry and function specific requirements in sales, marketing ,
ecommerce, retail , supply chain etc.
Mobile - BI vendors is the upcoming sector to help business executives monitor and manage their businesses on the go.
BI Advanced Analytics solution has seen an increase in funding trend to enable data scientists create self-service data models.

BI & Analytics Business Model Description


Overview
BI & Analytics sector (in our case) has seen an evolutionary trend in data analytics: Prescriptive, Descriptive and Predictive.
Traditional players have focused on analyzing past performance data across business units to optimize the workflow. While the
new players have focused on predictive analytics for forecasting and predictions. Big Data analytics has been an emerging trend
across both kind of players.
The value chain view of the market presents the flow of the data from the data sources like ERP, CRM systems into data
integration tools for unifying, cleaning and consolidating the data. Finally the integrated data is stored in a Data warehouse (both
Relational and Big Data based) before sending it to the visualization tools. Data warehouse technologies are not part of this
sector.
Business Model description:

BI suites : Traditional BI players which provides prescriptive and descriptive analytics with limited capability into predictive
analytics. Extracting, transforming & loading (ETL) only structured data and provides both data integration and visualization
tools. Eg : SAP, IBM, Qlik etc.
Big Data BI Suites : Provides both data integration and visualization essentially from big data sources like Hadoop. Eg :
Jaspersoft
Mobile BI : Tools like Raombi enables mobile first adhoc interactive reports accessed directly from mobile, tablets with touch
enabled interface.

14 BI & Analytics Report, March 2016

BI & Analytics Business Model Description


Data Preparation: Tools to integrates and transforms data from various data sources to help unify and enrich data in
advance of BI and analytics projects. Further some companies like Talend specializes in integration while companies like
Tamr, Snaplogic automatically catalogs metadata into logical entities (customers, partners, employees) rather than where its
stored.
Visualization Tools :
Reporting Tools : Offers visualizations & dashboards from already structured data sources like Salesforce,
Quickbooks. Does not enable end user to perform adhoc analysis due to limited interactivity. Eg: iCharts, Datahero.
Visual Data analysis : Offers adhoc data analysis like pivot table creation, heat maps ,geographical maps to further drill
down into datasets. Eg Tableau, Domo, Qlik, Birst, etc.
Natural language search: NLP interface for querying without using SQL. Eg ThoughtSpot.
Modelling language: Analytical data models using modelling language along with visualisation. Eg Looker.
BI and advanced analytics: Used by data scientists, these tools offers advanced analytics such as data discovery, forecasting
and projections using data mining and predictive analytical tools, along with data integration and visualization. Eg: Alteryx.
Advanced Analytics : Offers predictive analytics data models only, with limited capability for data visualization. Eg:
Rapidminer, Alpine Data.
BI Verticals: Industry and function specific BI Verticals for Corporate Performance Management, HR, Sales & Marketing ,
eCommerce, etc.
