Birst represents a new breed of business analytics solutions; one that leverages the ease of deployment and use of Software as a Service (SaaS) while still retaining the enterprise-class business intelligence capabilities an organization requires for sophisticated analytics.
Birst gives you real control over your data unlike GoodData and PivotLink
Most SaaS BI vendors focus on “packaging up” a BI solution for a specific application. They are focused on simple applications that get customers operational quickly, but lack the depth and scalability of a BI platform. These may help you perform simple analytics, but when you try something more advanced, you will start encountering their limitations. By comparison, Birst offers:
- Enterprise robustness and scalability inherent to Birst
- Data integration from multiple data sources including Salesforce.com, SAP, Oracle, Eloqua, Microsoft Dynamics and Excel spreadsheets for cross-system analytics
- On premise data security while still enjoying the ease-of-use benefits of SaaS BI
- Integration-ready so that Birst can operate standalone or integrated with other applications and infrastructure
Birst is more powerful than data discovery tools like QlikView and Tableau
Data discovery tools are a good fit for users in need of quick and basic access to their departmental data. For a complete BI solution, companies need more than just really large in-memory data sets and analysis capabilities. They require ad hoc reporting, data exploration, dashboards and analysis across complex data kept in different tables and sources. They need speed, power, ease of use and scalability across the enterprise. Only Birst does this. Birst guarantees your BI application remains agile and grows with the organization so that users get answers to their questions today and tomorrow.
Birst is more agile than traditional Business Intelligence mega-vendors like Oracle, Business Objects and Microstrategy
Traditional business intelligence mega-vendors provide customers with end-to-end BI – at 3 times the cost. These platforms take 3 times longer to deploy, require 3 times as many resources for ongoing maintenance.
Birst’s revolutionary datawarehouse automation technology lowers time to market allowing IT to deliver scalable, fully-functional BI applications in weeks while integrating data from multiple, disparate data sources. Business users get the tools to create pixel-perfect and ad hoc reports and dashboards which are easy to learn and sophisticated enough for in-depth analysis. Birst business applications provide a level of agility that traditional mega-vendors just can’t offer.
