 This
page contains links to companies that sell software products in the
areas of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing.
It's not easy to categorize Data Warehousing products, especially since
nowadays many companies have expanded their offers in an effort to
present themselves as suppliers of complete BI and BPM solutions.
This page has been recently rearranged, the main change being that the
first block now contains all those companies that appear in the Gartner BI
magic quadrant.
Another new feature is the red arrow ( )
used to identify V.I.P's (Very Interesting Products). |
In questa pagina si trovano alcuni puntatori a siti di aziende che
producono software specifico per Business Intelligence e Data
Warehousing.
Non è facile suddividere i prodotti
per Data Warehousing in categorie, specialmente oggi in quanto molte aziende
hanno espanso la loro offerta nel tentativo di posizionarsi come
fornitori di soluzioni BPM complete.
Questa pagina è stata recentemente riorganizzata, il cambiamento
principale consiste nel fatto che il primo blocco adesso comprende tutte le
aziende che appaiono nel "Gartner
BI magic quadrant".
Un'altra novità è la freccia rossa ()
utilizzata per segnalare i V.I.P's (Very Interesting Products). |
