Re-defining BI
I agree that the BI industry is changing and quickly. As many companies are being bought up by stack vendors there are as many new companies coming into play. There are a few still surviving on their own and changing the game. Providing new thinking through future technology and innovation will certainly continue to change the industry. These companies include Micro Strategies and IBM Cognos. There are also smaller companies that are niche solutions but these two are the larger ones that are competing with the stack vendors and still maintaining their independence.

Update Marketplace
Greetings! Here with a request to update the section Marketplace to give readers a few examples of the so-called pure-play vendors and megavendors. At present, the article mentions no companies in either category, though several are household names (and Notable); it seems to me that naming the big players would help the reader understand the marketplace better. You can see my additions below in bold, though they are of course not boldfaced in the prepared markup:

Here is markup for the entire paragraph:

I happen to be professionally affiliated with one of them, MicroStrategy, so given this financial COI I will not edit this article directly. Can other editors assist in posting this edit? Happy to answer any questions if need be. Thanks, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 16:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Per your request on my talk page to look at this: I'm not fond of random lists of commercial "examples" in topics like this. There are dozens of vendors mentioned in the references, and attempts to cherry pick them usually wind up as spam magnets. Thank you for your professionalism and transparency, but I can't make that change. Kuru   (talk)  00:09, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, I appreciate the reply and understand the concern. I recognize the potential for abuse, though it's disappointing: the companies are all WP:N and the citations are all WP:RS. I won't push on this one, but I will leave the request in case anyone might favor the change at a later point. WWB Too (Talk &middot; COI) 13:47, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Here's a request to update the latter paragraph in the article that refers to 2008 or 2009 in recent trending. That's a laugh! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.98.73.252 (talk) 18:19, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
