This evaluation guide aims to support IT organizations as they evaluate and select a modern BI & analytics platform suitable for a broad, enterprise-wide deployment.

The transition to a self-service-based, modern BI model requires IT to adopt a collaborative approach that includes the business in all aspects of the overall program (see Redefining the Role of IT in a Modern BI World). This guide focuses on the platform evaluation and selection aspect of a modern BI program. It is intended for IT to use collaboratively with business users and analysts as they assess each platform’s ability to execute on the modern analytics workflow and address the diverse needs of users across the organization.
