Redwood Shores, Calif. - Oracle today announced that it has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant of Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platform report(1). Gartner defines leaders as performing well today, having a clear vision of market direction and actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market.
Oracle's placement in the Leader's Quadrant comes on the heels of the general availability of Oracle(r) Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition 10g Release 3, a major new release of Oracle's comprehensive, standards-based suite of business intelligence (BI) infrastructure and tools products. This latest release delivers significant new product enhancements to further enable enterprise-wide BI including a number of usability features; tighter integration with Oracle Applications, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Database products; and even broader "Hot-Pluggable" support for non-Oracle data sources.
As enterprises seek to optimize business processes, decisions, and actions, they are increasingly turning to products such as Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition to distill intelligence from existing applications and data sources and distribute it pervasively across the enterprise to optimize business processes, decisions and actions. In addition to providing the full gamut of business intelligence (BI) functionality, the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition platform is based on a proven, modern Web Services-Oriented Architecture that delivers next-generation business intelligence capabilities.
"We believe Oracle's position in the leaders quadrant brings to light the benefits users realize by having a business intelligence foundation that can scale economically over time to handle nearly limitless data growth and user demands," said Paul Rodwick, vice president of product management, Oracle Business Intelligence. "We feel our placement in the Leader's Quadrant recognizes our efforts and commitment to provide our customers with the most complete, standards-based suite of BI products for use in any environment."
