• Key recommendation for buy vs. build decision

"Our research demonstrates that companies buying off-the-shelf BI functionality saw a greater adoption rate of their CRM tools than those using homegrown BI," said Michael Lock , research director and group leader, business intelligence, Aberdeen Group. "Having BI as part of the pre-deployed CRM tool increases the attractiveness of the solution, and ultimately boosts its adoption."

"For a buy vs. build decision, there is always a tradeoff between fast time to market and the need to have full control over the product architecture," said Farnaz Erfan , product marketing, SaaS and ISV solutions, Pentaho. "In our experience, unless analytics is the core competency of the organization, ISV product teams rather conserve their internal resources on their core business, leaving analytics to the experts - who have the product as well as the technology expertise to be great partners and guarantee ISV's success."
