Western European Data Warehousing Tools Forecast and Analysis, 2002-2006

The following are some of the factors that will inhibit market growth over the forecast period: Growth in low-cost data warehouse management solutions and data warehouse access tools on the Windows platform will cause downward price pressure, resulting in lower overall data warehousing revenue than would otherwise be the case. Mergers and acquisitions will continue as vendors build more complete suites of data warehousing tools or move to integrate such tools into analytic applications. As disruptive events, mergers and acquisitions may initially slow growth. The economic slowdown has not stopped investments, but it has delayed some purchase decisions, which are likely to be taken further up the corporate ladder, adding additional time to the approval process.
