The Size Of The Local Market

I have always wondered how big the Australian BI market was. Even when I was a Research Director of BI and IM at Gartner the market research didn't easily reveal data down at the Australian level. So I was pleased to read about some apparently 'hard' data:

Gartner's prediction for the business intelligence [market] for 2009 through 2012 says that business units, rather than IT, will control at least 40 percent of the total budget for BI. The problem here, Gartner wrote, is that "business users have lost confidence in the ability of [IT] to deliver the information they need to make decisions." 

The report continues to note that the market for business intelligence (BI) platform software in Australia is forecast to reach A$174.8 million in 2009, up 16.8 percent from A$149.6 million in 2008.

This little bit of intelligence is care of local vendor eXant - the local reseller of the reporting and dashboarding business tool eXPorter. This looks like an interesting tool but I don't know what their pricing is like.

I know enough about Gartner's research methods to add a note of caution to their figures. The true size may be very different from this estimate - but at least they try.

Now all I need is my 1% market share ...

Intelligence is one thing, whereas edticuaon is other. Yes, one could be intelligent by born but one has to suffer from a kind of confusion to apply one's intelligence everywhere since one is not educated or literate. It's not fair to say that formal edticuaon corrupts natural intelligence rather any study makes the intelligence sharp & makes the concerned person more confident. Farmers of my country are illiterate 80% yet they have that much intelligence to grow grains of different types. It's really a wonder to see their sense of seasons', the exact time of cultivation & way of harvesting manually! Even some highly educated agriculturists fail to move with them! But at a time, the so-called intelligent farmers fail to some situations when the brain or theory of an expert is necessary!References :

Thanks for commenting on our Reporting and Dashboarding Business Intelligence Tool - eXant eXPorter.

On the pricing front, our product is the lowest priced software in its category and typical entry level pricing would be just under A$ 10,000 for small and mid-size organizations. We pride in not generating any consultancy or professional services work on the back of our Business Intelligence tool, which is what drives the total cost of ownership of these products for most of the similar products in the market, keeping it at bare minimum.

Some of the software in the same category mention that they can get their software up and running in days, let users create dashboards in hours and reports in minutes, we have been actually doing that since last 10 years in reality in Europe and other Asia Pacific countries and entered the Australian market in real sense only 3-4 months back.
