Henry Morris is the Senior Vice President for IDC's Worldwide Software and Services research groups. Dr. Morris started the Analytics and Data Warehousing research service at IDC, and coined the term "analytic applications" in 1997. In addition, Dr. Morris led a major study on the financial impact of business analytics, which examined the ROI of analytics projects at 43 sites in North America and Europe.
