2001年，国外BI厂商陆续进入国内市场，国内一两家软件厂商开始自主开发；
2003年，国外BI厂商大举入侵，国内厂商亦如雨后春笋，真真假假都开始了；
2005年，看到了收购的影子
2007年，经济危机……或许创业伊始的小公司困难的日子开始了，收购亦开始了；
2008年，厂商数量锐减：大规模收购爆发了，一部分被收购，一部分放弃自我帮大厂商实施去了，一部分转行，还有一部分反正没动静了；
2011年，持续大浪淘沙中，在国内商业智能市场中，几家国外大厂商为主，国内两三年家独立厂商努力坚持着。
而与此同时，商业智能市场规模，一路上扬到50亿元人民币，趋势有所减缓，但仍然持续上升着。别看钱多，别看参合者多，参与者苦在其中——创业碰到了资本，无力抵挡；苦力服务于大鳄，九牛拔到了一毛，血汗钱矣。
附1：不被并购 是祸是福
有分析师认为，商业智能领域并购的加剧，对独立BI厂商而言，短期内或许是好事。计世资讯副总经理、资深分析师曹开彬认为，独立的软件厂商在合作伙伴，比如数据库、应用软件等方面可以有更多选择。有国外分析师认为，在2008年，Business Objects、Cognos和 Hyperion将会专注于技术(文化)的挑战，将一系列复杂的预置型套件集成到更复杂的SAP、IBM和Oracle 的基础产品上，而不是侧重于创新。这些被收购的公司新的BI或许将定义为“臃肿的集成”。
但有分析师认为，长期来看，独立的BI厂商将面临着压力，随着整合的完成，软件业趋向于提供“端到端的解决方案”，而且在系统的整合方面，IBM、甲骨文自身的BI软件跟自己的数据库、中间件等软件会比跟别的厂商融合得更好，而且在向用户推介时，不排除捆绑销售的可能。
