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."

 


Dr. Carsten Bange,

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."
