insanity = doing the samething over and over again &expecting different results.

Business Intelligence has of coursebeen around for decades.

During the past few years, dramatic changes have been occurring in the world

of business intelligence (BI). These changes all go towards one goal: removing the

barriers firmly set by the traditional BI vendors born from an arcane architecture designed

over 40 years ago.

Today a staggeringly high proportion of companies simply do nothing other than continue to store

the increasing amounts of data by adding additional storage mediums as and when required – almost

like there are banking it for a rainy day.

It’s well documented that higher performing organisations are 4.5 times more likely to use the data than

their lower performing counterparts and almost 3 times more likely to have significant analytical

capabilities. Its fact that analytics-driven organizations outperform their peers in every metric that matters.

Are you drowning in data but thirsting for insight…

Martin Butler Research

Business intelligence (BI) technology holds out much promise, but experience would tend to indicate that

it can be difficult to use, requiring specialist skills and imposing considerable latency between need and

information delivery. Bi24 addresses these issues for many business needs and the ease-of-use has to be

seen to be appreciated. The technology is built on the well regarded Lucene open software search

technology and because of this most things are possible.

Ovum

The value proposition of Bi24 is found in the way the product provides the end user with the

ability to search, analyze, and view data. Bi24 comes with the usual views associated with

data analysis solutions such as tabular, cross-tabs, and graphs, all of which are fully

interactive in that Bi24 allows the user to drill down into the source data.

Sophisticated Venn diagrams enable complex data relationships to

be easily viewed and analyzed, and Bi24 can be

configured to deliver visually rich

dashboards.
