Advantenon and Birst Join Forces to Provide Affordable, Mobile Business Intelligence Solutions Delivering Rapid ROI
Partnership Combines Advantenon's Applications With Birst's On-Demand Technology to Help Users Make Better Daily Decisions That Improve Business Performance
MINNEAPOLIS, MN and SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - October 27, 2009) - Advantenon, which
develops mobile business intelligence (BI) applications, and Birst, a
leading provider of on-demand solutions for BI and analytics, today
announced that they have joined forces to provide low-cost, mobile BI
solutions that deliver rapid ROI. These applications push small pieces of
actionable data out to people wherever they are, helping users make better
daily decisions that improve business performance.
"Our clients are tired of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on BI
projects that drag on for months and disrupt their business, and then fail
to provide any real value. They're looking for nimble applications that
deliver ROI in weeks -- not months or years," said David Coudron,
President, Advantenon. "Birst's on-demand BI solution provides the perfect
platform for our mobile applications because it can be deployed quickly and
easily, in bite-size nuggets, without the need to create a company-wide
data warehouse."
Through its new partnership with Birst, Advantenon is able to deliver
exceptional value to clients, with an incredibly low cost of entry.
Advantenon can snap in new BI applications quickly and easily, allowing
clients to start with one small, high-value project and then build on it
with iterations. Applications range from mobile sales opportunity
dashboards to tools comparing inventory to orders, and shipping and
inventory management dashboards. Information is delivered to mobile devices
in small, graphical chunks that help people make better, faster decisions
that ultimately increase profitability.
Birst's ease-of-use, affordability, and scalability deliver more value with
less work, in less time, and at a dramatically lower cost than traditional
analytics applications. Birst's innovative, on-demand solution provides the
robust information and analysis clients need, without burdening IT
departments. Because Birst is a 100% software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution
there is no hardware to buy, reducing upfront costs.
"At Birst, we believe that BI is only useful if it delivers the right
information to the right people, at the right time," said Brad Peters, CEO,
Birst. "By combining Birst's on-demand technology with Advantenon's
applications, we're providing the information clients need, wherever and
whenever they need it. That's what BI is all about."
