Actually, there is a lot of activity around that area. Oracle, IBM and SAP of course are the leaders. There are other vendors like NLS (which I presume is local, from their client base. I could be wrong).
 
You can say that currently it's only the big players - banks, insurance firms, MSPs, etc that seem to invest in BI. This means that they are likely to also opt for big BI players. Therefore, your best chance would be to work within these players to initially get your footing in the market. As for salaries, the rates are usually very good. Most of the actual consultants tend to be foreigners, esp from Asia, and North Africa

Mr. Flint,

From the silence, you must know by know that you are speaking to yourself.

Those fields are green, but I know some few firms that are trying to establish footing in those area.

Quantification is not a practice that has been embraced fully, but local companies are trying.

Regards

Hi Skunks,

I am looking to relocate to Kenya and set up shop as a consultant in Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing.

How is the BI and DW space in Kenya at the moment? Who are the big players? What is the uptake of BI among the Corporates? Average remuneration for BI professionals?

Any information along that line would be greatly welcome!

Regards,
James
