Birst is the industry’s first and only end-to-end Business Intelligence (BI) suite that provides the power of on-premise Business Intelligence (BI) tools with the economics of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

The Birst Business Intelligence (BI) suite architecture is based on a unified metadata model (UMM), providing a consistent user experience in a single product. A single shared layer of metadata ensures consistency across the entire Business Intelligence (BI) solution and eliminates the need to consolidate and maintain metadata when using a collection of different Business Intelligence (BI) components. Definitions of business-relevant metrics and attributes can be managed in a single place – insulating reports and end-users from the physical storage of data.
Birst is a fully multitenant solution in terms of both data processing and data storage. Birst’s web and application server tier is multitenant – users are spread across an infinitely scalable pool of computing resources without requiring provision of new infrastructure as usage scales. Leveraging its share-nothing architecture, Birst is the only Business Intelligence (BI) solution to provide this level of scalability and Business Intelligence (BI) application virtualization.
