Overview:
For over a decade, Business Intelligence (BI) has been sold as an investment--typically a six-to-seven figure investment that promised to make organizations smarter and more competitive. Admittedly, the approach is valid: many enterprises have achieved handsome returns on investments in data warehousing and BI. But the "high investment/high return" scenario priced BI out of the reach of most organizations.
A 2006 survey of IT and line of business professionals conducted by Ventana Research concludes that interest in and adoption of open source BI is widespread and growing, driven primarily by cost considerations. The report is careful to point out, however, an interesting disparity. While 48% of respondents expect open source BI to cost half as much as equivalent proprietary BI software, one-fourth of the respondents expect it to cost the same.
This guide will help you understand the hidden and explicit costs associated with open source BI in comparison with familiar proprietary BI solutions. At the end, you should understand whether open source BI is a viable option for your organization.
