Description

This IDC study discusses the challenges and opportunities Business Objects faces in the business intelligence (BI) software market. Over the 12 months following Business Objects' acquisition of Crystal Decisions, the company has hit all major milestones on its path to internal product integration. However, over the same time period, the company has seen slower license revenue growth during the transition period to a new technology platform.

"Although Business Objects has experienced a slowdown in its license revenue since its acquisition of Crystal Decisions, the company remains the leader in the BI software market. To continue its successful, 14-year growth path, Business Objects will need to navigate an increasingly complex competitive environment and take advantage of opportunities that take the company outside its historical market space." ? Dan Vesset, research director, Analytics and Data Warehousing
