The new engine is self tuning, provides for a new statistical graphics engine that produces more reliable output and is much, much faster.

According to IDC, the market for BI software tools has experienced rapid growth over the past several years. In fact, IDC forecasts this market to grow to $11.8 billion by 2005 for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27 percent. This software market is dominated by end-user query and reporting and OLAP tools which account for 65 percent of the overall market. As software users moved to unlock their data assets from enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM) and legacy systems, the demand for BI software has increased. Such demand is expected to continue as organizations increasingly move from relying on software just to process transactions to using it to understand their enterprise data and thus be able to make better and faster decisions.
