Business Objects ended 2005 again as the leading BI software vendor,
with $795 million in BI tools revenue and a 14% market share. Business
Objects is the dominant query, reporting, and analysis vendor, with a
broad user base spanning all major geographic regions, company size
segments, and industries. Building on this base, the company has
ambitious goals for growth. This growth can either be organic or involve
further acquisitions. Both paths will likely contribute to Business
Objects’ top line over the foreseeable future, with most of the organic
growth coming from query, reporting, and analysis tools from both
expanding the company’s user base within enterprise accounts and deeper
penetration of midsize organizations.
However, competitive pressures, especially from database vendors, suggest that organic growth will not be sufficient to maintain even low double-digit growth rates for software revenue, which would make another acquisition an attractive option for Business Objects. Such an acquisition is unlikely to be in the company’s existing stronghold segment of query, reporting, and analysis but could instead involve adding advanced analytics, search, business process management, or packaged analytic applications products into its portfolio.
