RT @briellenikaido Enterprise - big problems that could be solved w/ cloud BI. A lot of vendors less about SaaS, but PaaS. Smart vendors do both #focusrt712

Anup Mahansaria asked a question
Is SAAS BI going to be very domain specific?
When we are talking about SAAS BI, do we need to focus on the ones which are working on providing solutions in the specific domain like CRM, Health Care etc

#Focusrt712 What verticals will gain the greatest value in using a BI SaaS environment?
For example, Shawn mentioned that retail is a good fit, particularly during their high sales periods. Not so interested in the generic reasons that any system (BI or not) moves to SaaS.
