Background • DRAFT White Paper for OMB Pittsburgh, July 11, 2013. • Start With the End in Mind, Avoid Tool and Turf Wars, and Develop Well-designed Spreadsheets That Can be “Dragged and Dropped” Onto a Tool That Creates Statistics and Visualizations in the Public and Private Clouds. • Focus on Requirements Analysis by First Comparing Magic Quadrant Leaders and Challengers on Common Data Sets. • Spotfire Was Able to Reproduce Birst, IBM, Information Builders, Logi Analytics, Microsoft, MicroStrategy, QlikView, SAS, and Tableau Data Visualizations With Dynamically Linked Visualizations. • Broaden This Requirements Analysis to Include More Sample Data Sets and Tools. • SAP Is a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant.
Gartner BI Magic Quadrant: SAPSAP Analytics Strengths and Cautions Excerpts • SAP is the global market share leader of the BI and analytics platforms market. • SAP is frequently cited by customers as the enterprise standard BI and analytics platform. • SAP Predictive Analysis, introduced in 2012, bolstered its predictive analytics offering by integrating analytical capabilities already built in R with the real-time and in-memory capabilities of Hana to create some new, advanced analytic use cases. • When respondents were asked which product-specific limitations were barriers to wider deployment, more SAP respondents cited software quality than for any other vendor.

Some Conclusions and Recommendations • Semantic Community Was Able to Import An Excel File Into SAP Lumira Cloud But It Did not Automatically Generate (Intelligent Analytics) Dynamically Linked Graphics Like Spotfire Does. • Spotfire Provides Similar Features To SAP Lumira Cloud and Predictive Analysis, But the Author Finds Spotfire Much Easier and More Powerful to Use. • MindTouch and Spotfire Are More Versatile Than SAP Lumira, Hana, and Predictive Analysis For Mashups. • Semantic Community Will Continue to Use The Gartner BI Magic Quadrant Leader Tools and Their Sample Data Sets and to Recreate Visualizations and Dashboards.
