BI and Performance Management = 23 billion dollars!

There is no question that BI and performance management offerings continue to grow at a rapid pace. AMR Research recently released a study that predicts North American companies will spend $23.8 billion on business intelligence and performance management in 2007. Dashboards and scorecards specifically came in at 5.5 billion and planning, budgeting, and forecasting was 4.1 billion. There was no mention to “sharks with freaking laser beams attached to their heads.”
