We’ve been reporting on the benefits and role of business intelligence (BI) systems for years but it now looks as if they are finally moving on from a “nice to have” to becoming a “must have” product.
Who’s in & Who’s out?
All this month’s wins, deals, swapouts & rollouts in the UK, North American, EMEA and APAC sectors including Tikit scoring its first brace of wins for Carpe Diem Next Generation + why things at Coke go better with a Novatus portal + BigHand’s Esquire Innovations “Office Suite” is making waves in Australia + how Aderant is hoping to crack the Elite Enterprise market with MatterWorks and fill the Elite Engage gap + more firms across Europe are looking to Sysero as a knowledge management solution.

Looking back to 2005 we see that two of the big issues of the day: the inability of Government agencies “to invest in efficient technology” and the disconnect between what law firms are supplying their clients with in terms of IT support – and what their clients expect, are still major issues today.
