NASHUA, NH--(Marketwired - Aug 1, 2016) - Dresner Advisory Services today announced it has opened mid-year end user data collection for its Wisdom of Crowds® series of research. The information collected will form the basis of the organization's annual reports covering Embedded Business Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Location Intelligence, End User Data Preparation and two new topics: Analytical Data Infrastructure and Smart BI.

Business intelligence (BI) and information management users in all roles and throughout all industries worldwide are invited to contribute their perspective on current and planned deployments and perceptions of the BI landscape. As in previous years, relevant vendors and products are ranked using pertinent criteria developed by Dresner Advisory Services, providing an important tool for organizations seeking to invest in BI solutions. 

"Since our inception we have taken a modern approach to research, reaching out to the broadest set of users -- through crowd sourcing and social media," said Howard Dresner, founder and chief research officer at Dresner Advisory Services. "As a result, our industry research is more inclusive -- yielding a more accurate picture of the market."

The survey can be found at wisdomsurvey.com and will remain open through September 27, 2016. Bona fide participants will receive a complimentary copy of the study findings.

Howard Dresner will use his weekly #BIWisdom Twitter tweet chat, held every Friday at 1PM ET, to commence sharing early information related to this study. BI and information management users, both IT and business, are invited to participate in the tweet chat to share their experiences first hand.
