What Gartner, Forrester and Ovum/Butler Group/Data Monitor recently published about BIReady.
As always, IT is evolved; People have an idea, start trying to program it and when they finally succeed, there is no need to do it anymore, because the best practices are automated by software.
It has been a while since Bill Inmon invented the Data Warehouse.
It has been since that projects fail – too expensive, too long, not matching requirements, not capable for change, etc.
Data Warehouse became the forbidden word.
Nobody wants a Data Warehouse anyway.
But you have to.
For integrating data from different sources, to build history, to not disturb production systems with queries, for easy access for business-users, etc.
And now all the experts worked and invented over and over, best practices became available and we all know what (not) to do.
And thus software became available to automate all the Data Warehouse processes:
Design the (normalized Enterprise) Data Warehouse (according to Inmon’s Corporate Information Factory), the design for (Star schema) Data Marts (thanks to Ralph Kimball) and all the ETL that comes along with it.
Strange enough, there are not much Data Warehouse Automation vendors yet (Or Data Warehouse Life Cycle Management Tools, if you like).
But all the important BI players agree that this is the way to go. This functionality will become commodity within 5 years for now, is predicted by R&D leaders.
And it is already available today.
BIReady can save over 90% in Data Warehousing efforts and costs. On average this means 50% savings of the BI implementation projects!
Analysts are enthusiast about this next big thing in BI.
They do their research and publish about it.
A short overview: Gartner advises to review BIReady as a good alternative for traditional ETL tools in their Data Integration Magic Quadrant report, Forrester ranks BIReady highest in their 'Agile BI out of the box' report, Ovum wrote a technical audit about BIReady and many, many more.
