2013 Looks Bright for Microsoft and Oracle
In the same Magic Quadrant Report, Gartner research firm reported that Oracle and Microsoft are likely to have a good time in 2013. This is because the customers of these companies only have not yet implemented mobile BI and are very eager to implement it in 2013. According to the report, just 11.34% of BI customers that were included in the survey have deployed mobile business intelligence solutions for their organizations. However, more than one third of the remaining surveyed companies said that they will most likely deploy BI by next year, i.e. 2013.
Capabilities of Mobile BI
According to the Gartner report, implementation of mobile BI solutions will enable organizations to use publishing or interactive mode to distribute analysis data to the employees. Also, usage of the location awareness of the client by accessing their mobile devices will allow companies to custom deliver their services based on real time data.
The report also showed that all BI vendors extend support for Apple’s iOS devices while 90% of them support Google’s Android devices. Only one-third of the vendors support Microsoft’s Windows mobile platform while 50% support Blackberry devices.
