The #1 reason business leaders are frustrated with BI
All of the value that’s delivered from BI comes from the context, not the numbers. For decades 95% of the effort in BI has been spent in cleaning data, preparation, and visualization.

Kicking off 2019: New customers, new products
After taking a deep breath at the end of the financial year, we’ve jumped straight into another year – and things are already looking good. We closed out July 101% of budget and the whole organization is gearing up for our version 8 release. We believe it’s going to be a game changer in the way the whole industry thinks about analytics.
