A lot has been said about the disruptive aspects of Software as a service (SaaS) based business intelligence (BI). Does SaaS have the stuff of enterprise solutions or is it all hyperbole and buzzwords? In the early stages of this growing segment SaaS BI vendors relied on quick implementation times and a “pay as you go” pricing model to win over early adaptors. Much has changed since the first SaaS pioneers arrived on the scene; expectations have grown and so have the vendors competing in the space.

Operational BI delivers a real, tangible business advantage to companies that quickly adopt and use its capabilities. In today’s competitive environment it is more important than ever that companies seek to improve operational efficiencies and effectiveness leading to better business results, including enhanced market position, more customers, greater customer satisfaction, lower costs and improved profit.

Delivering software as a service (SaaS) holds the promise of cost reduction, quick deployment, lower implementation risk and higher ROI. In addition, SaaS applications marry the business users with the application and with the application vendor providing services to fill the skills gap between the customer’s processes and industry best practices. But as SaaS and the cloud move onto nearly every enterprise IT agenda, the potential has been realized incrementally in a “patch work quilt” approach rather than any larger shift in architecture.

The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model represents the next frontier for enterprise business intelligence (BI) applications. While service oriented architecture (SOA) has done a great deal to foster the effectiveness of BI as a whole, cloud-based software services—where companies lease, rather than buy software applications and data-processing functions over the internet—constitute the next quantum leap for data mining and corporate intelligence solutions.
