As enterprise buyers become more adept at using enterprise applications,
look for efficient and effective ways to ensure regulatory compliance,
and seek to gain unprecedented insight into their customers, business
intelligence/analytics (BIA) providers have gained access to a whole
new market: the business user.
ITSMA’s Enhancing Customer Value from Business Intelligence/Analytics
Applications and Services benchmarks the brand equity of full-suite
application providers, integrators, and niche application developers.
It also explores the customer decision process for buying enterprise
BIA software solutions and services. In particular, the report addresses
issues such as:
- What priorities drive the decision-making process when large and
midsize firms and institutions buy BIA software applications and services?
- What marketing investments will be most effective in building brand
and improving competitive position?
Key topics highlighted in the report include:
- How Customers Choose
- Brand Equity
- Effective Marketing
- Purchasing Preferences
Study Methodology

501 IT and business executives involved in the purchase of software applications
and solutions as part of a larger study on the enterprise software applications
market as a whole, Enhancing Customer Value from Enterprise Software
Applications and Services: 2005 Brand Tracking Study.
ITSMA separately examined the answers of 100 respondents who were asked
their opinions and experiences as they related specifically to their
perceptions of BIA application suite and services providers. This study
examines the responses of those 100 respondents.

Study respondents all held director, vice president, or C-level positions
and represented organizations in multiple major industries with revenue
or operating budgets ranging from $300 million to over $20 billion.
