YORK, PA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/02/09 -- ProfitBase, a technology leader in ready-to-use,
rapidly deployed data warehouse, business analytics, budgeting and planning
software, today announced their partnership with GoIWx to bring a cost
effective, functionally rich, Hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) Business
Intelligence (BI) solution to businesses in North America. Hosted in the
Cloud, the BI solution extracts and consolidates transactional data from a
company's existing business systems and delivers performance metrics to
decision makers through the ProfitBase InFront Analytics dashboard in a
browser product, Microsoft SharePoint, PerformancePoint Excel, or their
preferred front-end tool.
"In this difficult economy, businesses are conserving cash but are still
looking for ways to deliver better information to their decision makers.
With our Hosted BI solution, businesses are able to change what was an
upfront capital expenditure to a low monthly expense. They conserve cash
and at the same time greatly improve the quality of information required to
make day-to-day decisions," comments Larry LeBlanc, President and CEO of
ProfitBase NA Inc. "We have ready-to-use connectors for many business
systems, including Microsoft Dynamics GP, AX and NAV, AS/400, Oracle and
LS Retail AX and NAV to mention a few, and we can quickly configure new
connectors for other business systems," LeBlanc adds.
The Hosted SaaS BI solution is configured and deployed using ProfitBase
2009, a scalable, rapidly configured data warehouse and OLAP Cube
deployment accelerator for Microsoft SQL Server. With ProfitBase 2009,
information from multiple business systems is easily consolidated.
ProfitBase 2009 includes ready-to-use business templates consisting of
business logic, key performance indicators and dimensions for finance,
sales, inventory, purchasing, accounts receivable, human resources,
manufacturing, healthcare, retail and others. Also included are many data
source connector templates for many of the most popular Point-of-Sale and
ERP business systems. Businesses are able to display and distribute their
metrics and KPIs throughout their organization using dashboard and
reporting tools such as ProfitBase InFront Analytics, Microsoft
SharePoint(TM) Server, PerformancePoint and Excel, among others.
"The ProfitBase BI offering is an exciting new offering for us. We have
been watching the BI market for years and the problem always was long
complex deployments. ProfitBase 2009 has a graphical configuration
environment and pre-built templates that speeds, yet simplifies
deployments, which means lower risks and fast time to value for our
customers," notes RJ Burgess, President and CEO of GoIWx. "We are able to
host the entire solution in the cloud. So other than making a connection to
the company's business systems, there is very little burden on the IT staff
or their budget," Burgess goes on to say.
