Cool Vendors

Gartner have just published a new report called "Cool Vendors in Analytics, Business Intelligence and Corporate Performance Management, 2007" - You have to buy it unfortunately and I have no permission to reproduce it here.

I am persoanlly all for innovation. And it would appear that depsite all the 'big names' in the BPM (or CPM as gartner call it) space, there are still innovative companies out there.

Here are some local (Australian) ones for you to consider in your mix when evaluating BI/BPM companies. They are all locally grown and highly innovative:

• SeeMoreData (Melbourne)
• Enovation (Sydney)
• ZAP Technology (Brisbane)
• Mondelio (Sydney)
• Corvu (Sydney)
• Calumo (Sydney)

So, before you rush out and purchase only those with the large marketing budgets, consider some of the innovative companies too. You may be pleasantly surprised!
