Why is a high-value technology such as predictive analytics so under-represented in the enterprise?
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    With its Web 2.0-based Tableau Server 3.0, Tableau touts a data visualization and dashboarding product whose whole vastly exceeds the sum of its parts

                    Notwithstanding its impending acquisition by ERP giant SAP, Business Objects has been extremely busy lately
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    IBM isn’t the only best-of-breed data integration player on the block, as the latest PowerCenter 8.5 release proves
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    There’s been tumult aplenty in the once-insulated data quality market segment. What do the new data quality power rankings look like?
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
    
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    IBM now fields the industry’s strongest overall data integration stack, industry watchers say, but Big Blue isn’t resting on its laurels.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    The analytic tools of today are a lot different from the bread-and-butter OLAP offerings of yesterday. The analytic tools of tomorrow will differ still more.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    Most BI and PM players see an upside to SAP’s acquisition of Business Objects—but no two vendors see the same one.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    TDWI’s second San Francisco-area chapter meeting attendees heard expert advice on offshoring and dashboards.
