Now in its eighth year of publication, The BI Survey by Nigel Pendse is an annual report based on the world's largest independent survey of Business Intelligence and Performance Management users.

The BI Survey 8 uncovers the truth about why real-world organizations select BI products, how they use them, and with what success. It also compares the leading products on the market across a number of key criteria such as performance, scalability and vendor support. Unlike many other surveys, it is not sponsored by any vendor and is 100% free of vendor influence.
