“BOARD’s
consistent high ranking positions in many of
the key areas we analysed in the survey is a
remarkable achievement and isn’t just
limited to technical aspects, such as the
performance, reliability and support. BOARD also
performed very well with regard to the key
business criteria."
Nigel Pendse,
Author of The BI Survey 7

"This
reflects BOARD's programming-free toolkit approach
to flexible use throughout the whole company and in
the most diverse functions. With one single
development tool, it is possible to build a huge
variety of applications. That is a big
differentiation from many standard tools where
different modules cover specific functions."
Managing Director, BARC Institute

“Almost half of our customers plan to buy more BOARD
licences in the future and hereby they confirm that
the BOARD toolkit is indeed a great product to work
with. BOARD’s concept of one single integrated
platform with MOLAP, ROLAP and all BI and CPM
functions integrated for pervasive reporting,
analysis, planning and simulation applications proves right when we see the feedback in this years’
BI Survey. In times of such a strong market
consolidation as it currently happens in the BI and
CPM market, it is important for us to care about
customers needs and develop our product accordingly.
Other vendors cannot focus on such things but need
to concentrate on integration issues due to recent
acquisitions."
Giovanni Grossi,
CEO, Board International
