Third OLAP Survey proves even more insightful than first two

Research and Markets have announced the addition of the OLAP Report 3 to their offering.

(PRWEB) November 16, 2003 --The third edition to the most detailed examination of the rapidly growing Online Analytic Processing (OLAP) market, The OLAP Survey 3 is the definitive source of customer intelligence. The OLAP Survey 3 provides an independent and unbiased
account of the market's verdict on vendors, products, and corporate project success rates.

Based on responses from 1047 user organizations, in 48 countries, the findings yield a wealth of actionable insights for OLAP buyers, vendors, consultants, and investors. The OLAP Survey 3 is substantially larger and better in every way than the first two editions. More people answered more questions in an improved questionnaire. With 248 pages of
detail-rich findings - including 62 tables and 113 charts, The OLAP Survey 3 is a must have resource for OLAP buyers, consultants, and investors.

Changing market trends

In addition to the fully updated and extended rich set of analyses established in The OLAP Survey 2, The OLAP Survey 3 includes an all-new new set of analyses of age profiles. This allows insightful comparisons of recent and older purchases, which show a rapidly changing product mix. For example, Microsoft's and SAP's shares of OLAP purchases made in the last two years have more than doubled compared to purchases made before then, whereas some other products shares have more than halved. Remarkably, in the last two years, more Oracle database users have opted for Microsoft's OLAP server than Oracle's though Business Objects remains the most popular BI tool in both newer and older Oracle sites.
