"Jaspersoft will enable our clients to evolve beyond traditional reporting and into next generation analytics," stated Michael Iaccarino, Chairman and CEO, Infogroup.  "Easy access to results from any device and at any time is no longer a luxury for our clients, it is a necessity.  Jaspersoft provides this flexibility through its compatibility with existing operating systems and advanced user interface. With features like these, we can provide the ability to analyze and report intuitively, while leveraging the strength of our Data Axle™ in real-time. The combination of our products and solutions coupled with Jaspersoft BI is the perfect complement to all of our businesses."

With this technology alignment, not only are we able to meet the needs of Infogroup as our client, we are also able to meet the needs of clients throughout the Infogroup businesses, from the local flower shop owner all the way up to Fortune 500 companies. It's an exciting opportunity."
