"The winners of this award are determined by our readers - folk who use these products day in and day out," says Ron Powell, publisher of DM Review. "With this top ranking, it`s clear that Brio Technology is their first choice for business intelligence query and reporting."
The DM Review Readership Awards are based on the results of an independent survey of readers conducted by Market Perspectives, Inc, a Massachusetts-based research firm working on behalf of DM Review. DM Review readers identified the winning companies and their respective products based on quality and overall value to the enterprise.
Of the 38 vendors ranked on the quality and value of their query and reporting tools, Brio came in No 1 for query and reporting, with fully one-third of readers rating Brio`s query and reporting tools "excellent". More than three-quarters (77%) rated Brio "very good" or "excellent". With the No 1 ranking, Brio was awarded the DM Review Readership Award.
"This independent survey by DM Review is particularly important because it gives voice to the user," said Chris Grejtak, executive VP for marketing at Brio. "At Brio, we`ve always focused on enabling quick ROI by delivering products that are as easy for decision-makers to use as they are easy for IT to implement and maintain. Thus we`re exceptionally pleased with this strong validation of Brio`s products and our growing reputation for providing maximum value in business intelligence across the enterprise."
Several of Brio`s industry partners were also recognised as leaders in their categories, giving evidence to the strength of the Brio solutions. IBM - a Brio partner and customer - won the DM Review Readership award for Data Warehouse Design and Methodology with its Visual Warehouse solution. Recently, IBM chose to bundle Brio Enterprise with the IBM Visual Warehouse family.
"We`re also pleased to see our partner Hyperion Solutions at the top for OLAP tools," notes Grejtak. "Brio`s 2nd place ranking for OLAP out of 26 OLAP vendors further demonstrates the power and flexibility of the Brio Enterprise suite. In fact, we`re proud that 80% of DM Review readers surveyed rated Brio `excellent` or `very good` for OLAP capability."
