Gartner has released the 2011 Magic Quadrant for Corporate Performance Management (CPM), a concept defined by Gartner (2011) as „processes used to manage corporate performance (such as strategy formulation, budgeting and forecasting), the methodologies that support these processes (including the balanced scorecard or value-based management), and the metrics used to measure performance against strategic and operational performance goals”.
A useful resource for assessing the market of Business Intelligence (BI) Platforms is The 2010 Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms, released on 29 January 2010, by Gartner. The report provides a comprehensive evaluation of the main software vendors for the BI platforms, as well as defining the BI market and its trends. An eagerly expected publication in BI circles, this year’s report was authored by four Gartner analysts: Rita L. Sallam (ex Oracle), Bill Hostmann (ex IBM – Informix), James Richardson (ex Hyperion, now Oracle) and Andreas Bitterer (ex IBM).
