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. </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-WWB_Too-2018-03-28T16:50:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-Update_Marketplace-2018-03-28T16:50:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-WWB_Too-2018-03-28T16:50:00.000Z-Update_Marketplace&quot;,&quot;c-68.98.73.252-2019-08-21T18:19:00.000Z-Update_Marketplace&quot;],&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Update Marketplace&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;Update Marketplace&quot;}--><h2 id="Update_Marketplace" data-mw-thread-id="h-Update_Marketplace-2018-03-28T16:50:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Update_Marketplace-2018-03-28T16:50:00.000Z"></span>Update <i>Marketplace</i><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Update_Marketplace-2018-03-28T16:50:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Business_intelligence&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: Update Marketplace" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> <span id='ooui-php-8' class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-overflowMenuButton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-iconElement oo-ui-buttonWidget' data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonMenuSelectWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"icon":"ellipsis","data":{"itemConfigs":[{"id":"edit","data":{"id":"edit"},"icon":"edit","label":"Edit"}],"resourceLoaderModules":[]},"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-section-overflowMenuButton"]}'><a role='button' tabindex='0' rel='nofollow' class='oo-ui-buttonElement-button'><span class='oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-icon-ellipsis'></span><span class='oo-ui-labelElement-label'></span><span class='oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator'></span></a></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-timestampLabel'>Latest comment: <a href="#c-68.98.73.252-2019-08-21T18:19:00.000Z-Update_Marketplace">5 years ago</a></span><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-commentCountLabel'>4 comments</span><span class='ext-discussiontools-init-section-metaitem ext-discussiontools-init-section-authorCountLabel'>3 people in discussion</span></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-WWB_Too-2018-03-28T16:50:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-Update_Marketplace-2018-03-28T16:50:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-WWB_Too-2018-03-28T16:50:00.000Z-Update_Marketplace&quot;,&quot;c-68.98.73.252-2019-08-21T18:19:00.000Z-Update_Marketplace&quot;],&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Update Marketplace&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;Update Marketplace&quot;}--></div></div></div><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-WWB_Too-2018-03-28T16:50:00.000Z-Update_Marketplace"></span>Greetings! Here with a request to update the section <i><a href="/wiki/Business_intelligence#Marketplace" title="Business intelligence">Marketplace</a></i> to give readers a few examples of the so-called pure-play vendors and megavendors.
