PARIS, France – 4th September 2012 - Actian Corporation and BiBOARD, a key provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced the signature of an agreement that allows both companies to combine technology solutions and marketing efforts as well as offer organisations in the French market more intuitive and affordable high performance analytics. By integrating Actian Vectorwise, the record-breaking analytic database technology, with BiBOARD’s BI solution, the two companies provide a comprehensive analytics and business intelligence package that enables customers to reap the benefits of instantaneous business insight. Providing one of the best price/performance ratios, the innovative solution will answer the needs of companies that cannot afford high-end analytic databases or that are not satisfied with performance and agility levels of traditional systems. It also creates an ideal platform for companies who are delivering analytics as a service to many customers over the Internet or for companies whose business operates in the cloud generating lots of unstructured data that needs to be analyzed for critical business. Furthermore, BiBOARD’s licensing model makes the bundled solution cost-effective for companies looking to take action on big data; the solution is not licensed on a per-user basis which allows organizations to offer access to the BI tool to a large number of end-users. "As an increasing number of organizations seek to understand and capitalize on growing data volumes, real-time analysis and reporting have become essential features of BI solutions,” commented Thierry Thepaut, CEO, BiBOARD. “Our user-friendly web interface makes any IT application accessible in an innovative web 2.0 platform enabling collaboration as well as optimization for use on mobile devices. Unprecedented insight is provided into financial, human resource, customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning applications by adopting a transactional approach. “With record-breaking Actian Vectorwise powering our solution we are dramatically increasing the number of simultaneous end-users able to interact with data sets in real time to identify different scenarios and results almost instantaneously. The agreement with Actian demonstrates our commitment to provide our customers with solutions that allow them to respond to new challenges posed by big data.” “As businesses continue the trend toward digitization, the ability to analyze large stores of disparate data in real-time becomes ever more vital to business decision-making as well as the timely delivery of BI and analytics to large numbers of customers and end-users in a quality experience,” commented Christian Raza, sales director France for Actian. “Our partnership with BiBOARD will create a cost-effective, fast and user-friendly solution that enables organizations to access fast business insight with great performance experience.
