Choosing a Business Intelligence ("BI") offering is an important decision for an enterprise, one that will have a significant impact throughout the enterprise. The choice of a BI offering will affect people up and down the chain of command (senior management, analysts, and line managers) and across functional areas (sales, finance, and operations). It will affect business users, application developers, and IT professionals. Before deciding on a BI offering, business decision makers must evaluate a company's BI offering with respect to what it has to offer each of these stakeholders. This paper will analyze the key considerations for deciding on a BI offering, review the BI strategies of Microsoft and Business Objects, and then evaluate each company's offerings in light of these key considerations.
