Who's What: Among BI Vendors
Alex Fletcher, over at the IT Gumbo site, provides an excellent list of who's what among leading vendors in the BI space.

Categories include Blended Approaches (mixing it up with proprietary and open source), ERP-centric, Business Process Solutions,Visualization-Based (the dashboard providers), Open Source, SaaS-based, Pureplay BI, (yes, there are still a few of those), and more.

Of particular interest is this whole category of "Lightweight BI," which includes search providers, and I have a feeling this is a space to watch with the growth of the Web 2.0 approach to helping end-users solve business problems quickly, without the need for a three-year technology acquisition plan.
