I like the various blogs associated with my many hobbies and even those to do with work. I find them very useful and I was excited when the Business Intelligence Network invited me to write my very own blog. At last I now have somewhere to park all the various tidbits that I know are useful, but I am not sure what to do with. I am interested in a wide range of information technologies and so you might find my thoughts will bounce around a bit. I hope these thoughts will provoke some interesting discussions.

More Information on Data warehousing in the Cloud and SaaS BI

My post a couple of days ago about data warehousing in the cloud led to requests for more information about this topic and related SaaS BI solutions.  

Claudia Imhoff and I recently published a research report on the BeyeNETWORK entitled "Pay as You Go: Software-as-a-Service Business Intelligence and Data Management." The report was sponsored by Blinklogic, Host Analytics, PivotLink and SAP BusinessObjects who offer SaaS BI solutions. It was also sponsored by Kognitio who (like Aster, GreenPlum and Vertica mentioned in my previous blog) have a data warehousing in the cloud offering. The report discusses SaaS BI and data warehousing and reviews the pros and cons of using this type of deployment model.

The report can be found on beyeresearch.com.
