And the 2017 BI Madness Champion is…
Who are we kidding? It was a blow out.
After three weeks and thousands of reads, we have arrived at the end. Thanks to all of you for the hundreds of likes, shares, and recommends. Special thanks to those who left their votes and comments on Medium, Facebook, and Twitter. Several hundred people voted this year!
The NCAA tournament ended with North Carolina celebrating as time expired. Gonzaga was winning at half time, so it took a strong second half. Our championship was sadly never close, one community mobilized and the other did not.
Tableau and Qlik each have some strong capabilities. They each have loyal user bases. They each have strong visualization capabilities and some entertaining annual conferences to boot. But in the end, one qommunity rallied. They started early and finished strong.
The Winner of the 2017 BI Madness Tournament is -
Congratulations Qlik! The Pit Crew was victorious again in 2017.
Congratulations to North Carolina —messy, ugly, a win is a win!
And thanks again to all of you! For your time, your support, and your contributions. Stay tuned. We will be back again soon with a new contest or competition. We are open to great ideas if you want to share. Be sure to check back to see where we go next.
Please, no matter how exciting this may seem, hanging from street signs should be left to professionals.

BI Madness is a concept created by Corsair’s Institute. Neither this tournament nor Corsair’s Institute is not associated with the NCAA in any way. Business Intelligence should never be confused with basketball. Anyone who has seen us on the court would surely agree.
