The BI Survey 9 Now Starting Fieldwork
[Mark Handford from the BI Survey dropped me an email the other day, to let me know that fieldwork for the BI Survey 9 is now underway. In my opinion I'd be great if as many Oracle and Hyperion customers could take part as possible, so that we get a good idea of how adoption of the various tools is taking place, and to that end here's the invite to take part in the survey - MR]
"The BI Survey 9: The Customer VerdictWe would very much welcome your participation in 'The BI Survey 9: The Customer Verdict', the world's largest survey of business intelligence (BI) and performance management (PM) users (formerly known as The OLAP Survey).
As a participant, you will:
- Receive a summary of the results from the full survey
- Be entered into a draw to win one of ten $50 Amazon vouchers
- Ensure that your experiences are included in the final analyses
Both business and technical users, as well as vendors and consultants, are welcome to participate. If you are answering as a consultant, please answer the questions (including the demographic questions) from your client's perspective; we will ask you separately about your own firm.
The BI Survey has always adopted a vendor-independent stance. While vendors assist by inviting users to participate in the Survey, Business Application Research Center (BARC) - the publisher - does not accept vendor sponsorship of the Survey, and the results are analyzed and published without any vendor involvement.
You will be able to answer questions on your usage of a BI product from any vendor. Your answers will only be used anonymously, and your personal details will never be passed on to vendors or other third parties.
The survey should take about 15-20 minutes to complete
