Ventana Research reported finding strong interest in adopting SOA technology to provide business intelligence (BI). Ventana announced a
majority of respondents in a recent survey plan to implement a BI services model in the next year. The survey defined a “BI service” as a software component that
provides a service such as data connectivity, movement and transformation; semantic mapping and master data management; query, reporting and analysis; and
dash-boarding, scorecarding and alerting.
The survey of 488 organizations found that 81% of respondents believe a service-oriented architecture (SOA) is important for BI. More than half plan to implement
front-end query and reporting services and back-end data services, with customer operations and finance being the top two targeted business areas. Almost half of the
respondents reported plans to integrate BI with corporate portals.
Other areas for integration with BI services included:
- 35% business processes
- 33% enterprise security services
- 28% transaction processing
- 24% search
- 18% composite applications.
The 488 survey participants cited Cognos, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, IBM and Business Objects as preferred BI vendors.
