Matt Glotzbach, head of products for Mountain View, Calif.-based Google Enterprise, says, “The real focal point from our point of view and, we believe, from the perspective of our BI partners is the realization that BI systems contain much valuable information about a company’s process, workflow, etc., but that information is untapped by the average employee. If you look at the traditional BI implementation, a very small number of users actually access the BI system and use its data, so the question becomes how to make this extremely valuable information accessible to the broader user base.” Google recently announced (April 2005) an initiative into BI around its Google Onebox for Enterprise technology. The initiative includes partnerships with a number of BI and enterprise application and professional services providers, including Cognos, Information Builders, Salesforce.com, SAS, and others.
