Products SPSS Text Analytics Exalytics • Market is rapidly changing. Consolidation of products and vendors occurring. • 2012 - Oracle => Vitrue Inc. & Collective Intellect. • 2012 - HP (Fusion) => Automony • 2009 - IBM => SPSS Inc. • Larger players muscling in and have aggressive roadmaps over the next 6-12 • months. (I.e Oracle).
04 Recommendation • “Capitalise & consolidate on current investments already in place across various departments within the university.” • Tactical – Short Term • For General Population • Consolidating existing licences for Leximancer under one enterprise wide license ($12,000) for all staff and students across the board. • MQ Analytical Dept • Retaining and expanding academic licensing with SPSS text Analytics’ for use by MQ Analytical department and faculty staff, as well as postgraduate coursework and research students. • Strategic – Long term • Introduce Contestability. Wait 18 months for market to mature. Release RFP with bigger players (oracle, IBM, SAS).
