Dear Focal Point member,

As a valued and trusted Information Builders Customer/Focal Point member, we were hoping you would be willing to take a few moments to complete the upcoming BI Survey, which is conducted annually by Nigel Pendse and BARC (Business Application Research Center). The annual BI Survey is the largest independent benchmarking study for Business Intelligence, Corporate Performance Management and OLAP. The BI Survey obtains input from a large number of BI and reporting application users to better understand their buying decisions, the implementation cycle, the vendor landscape, and the business challenges faced during development and roll-out of BI applications. Both business users and technical respondents are welcome to participate in the survey.

The BI Survey is strictly independent. While Information Builders and other vendors facilitate the survey by inviting users to participate, vendors do not sponsor the survey, nor influence the questionnaire design or survey results in any way. As a participant, you will not only have the opportunity to ensure your experiences are included in the analyses, but you will receive a free summary of the results from the full survey. The survey is available in English, German, and Spanish language versions, takes about 15 minutes to complete, and is available through December 31st.

Please click below in order to complete the survey: http://digiumenterprise.com/answer?link=233-X9MYCR4Z

As a participant, you will:
- Receive a summary of the results from the full survey.

- Be entered into a draw to win one of ten $50 Amazon vouchers

- Ensure that your experiences are included in the final analysis

Thank you for your participation.

Sincerely,

Kathleen Butler
Customer Care and Communications Manager
Information Builders

This is an interesting survey and worth taking, even without the chances at an Amazon $50 voucher.
