In New Delhi : Open-source business intelligence (BI) tools are set to witness a five-fold growth, observes a recent report from Gartner. Gartner analysts said that while functionality is not yet on a par with large commercial platforms and are still rarely seen as an enterprise wide BI standard, open-source BI tool deployment is growing solidly.
Open source BI has seen an interesting adoption pattern over the last few years, said Andreas Bitterer, research vice president at Gartner.
Hardly any organization looked at open-source BI until 2004, let alone deployed it to a significant number of users, but this submarket had developed nicely, having developed consistent growth rates over the last few years, Bitterer further added.
Although the average size deal for an open-source BI contract remains approximately $30,000 for a yearly subscription, some contracts repeatedly exceed $500,000 for a multiyear support subscription, which is in the same ballpark as many commercial counterparts, said the press statement from Gartner.
