White Paper: Aberdeen BI Benchmark Report

by Sean Anderson on September 23, 2009

If your looking to see how your company measures up against the top small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with respect to business intelligence, check out this SAP BusinessObjects sponsored BI benchmark report from the Aberdeen Group.

In the report, Aberdeen’s BI Research Analyst Michael Lock details how best-in-class SMB’s are already realizing five actionable benefits from their wider use and adoption of business intelligence.

Highlights include:

  • 99 percent of best-in-class companies deliver BI to the workforce in a self-service, non IT-assisted capacity, compared with only 6 percent of “laggard” SMBs.
  • Best-in-class companies achieved a 4 percent year-after-year reduction in the cost-per-user of BI applications compared with a 7.4 percent decrease for “laggards.”
  • Best-in-class companies drove an average 29 percent year-after-year growth in operating profit, more than five times the increase of all other SMBs.
  • Best-in-class companies were able to deploy their BI applications in an average 14 days compared with 241 days for “laggard” SMBs.
    Best-in-class companies achieved an average 27 percent year-after-year increase in organic revenue compared with a 17 percent decrease for “laggard” SMBs.
