2010 Research Agenda

The following provides a general outline of sponsored research that will be conducted in 2010:

1) Evaluating dashboard adoption, applications, and business value (in conjunction with Dashboard Insight) - helping identify how companies and decision makers are applying dashboards within their organizations and the value they are getting from their overall dashboard use.

2) Moving beyond TCO for mid-market companies - moving beyond the common TCO evaluation to identify the business value mid-market companies receive from their business intelligence solutions and whether they are satisfied with their current BI use.

3) Best practices for vertical focusing dashboards - identifying the best practices related to key metrics identification and dashboard development for organizations within vertical industries, specifically manufacturing, retail, and healthcare.

4) Data warehousing market landscape report - helping companies (specifically within the mid-market) understand the business value of data warehousing solutions, what options are available, and the differences between solutions.
