Gigaom Research: Leveraging Cloud-Based Analytics For Crowd-Sourced Intelligence

Description:

The cloud-based model has changed BI economics. Reduced expenses and freedom from acquisition, management, and maintenance lower the barriers to entry, so small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) can now benefit from analytics. While some service-provider organizations host their own proprietary tools, a growing number of these companies manage their services on cloud-based BI PaaS. The report will help service providers understand the specific benefits of adopting a BI PaaS model. Read today to learn how:

• Companies engaging other specialty cloud-based services are particularly interested in hosted BI, reporting, and analytics based in the cloud
• Service providers are using data accumulated from their client communities to provide information franchising, aggregated analytics, and competitive benchmarks
• Third-party brokers with good relationships in a broad client community can take advantage of information franchising, especially when they employ a cloud-based BI environment for data centralization, aggregation, analysis, and benchmarking
