Round Rock, Texas, and San Francisco, Calif. – March 24, 2009 precisionXL, a consulting services provider specializing in Microsoft Office-based solutions, and Birst, a leading on-demand solution for business intelligence and analytics, today announced a new partnership to provide advanced analytics to Microsoft Office users. Using Birst, precisionXL clients gain easy, affordable access to powerful reporting and analysis that help businesses make better decisions and increase their profitability.
"In today's tough economic times, our clients need a fast, low-risk, cost-effective way to be more competitive," said Dave Thornton, President, precisionXL. "With the combination of Birst and Microsoft Office, our clients can take their reporting and analysis capabilities to the next level without the huge capital investment required by traditional analytics applications. In fact, I hesitate to call Birst 'low-risk' because, as an on-demand solution that can be up and running in just days, it's almost 'no-risk'."
Through the new alliance, precisionXL clients can seamlessly incorporate Birst into existing business processes to further increase the value of their Microsoft Office IT investments. For instance, with Birst, precisionXL clients can analyze data generated by Microsoft Office applications such as Access and Excel. Then, clients can export Birst analyses for distribution and discussion through applications such as SharePoint and Outlook. The additional insight provided by Birst helps companies make more informed decisions that lead to better business results.
precisionXL helps businesses save time, money, and resources by leveraging their Microsoft Office applications and streamlining business processes. Clients continue to work with their familiar Microsoft Office applications while precisionXL develops and implements custom, behind-the-scenes enhancements that improve business performance. Birst's on-demand business intelligence solution provides powerful, automated analytics that are easy to use and implement, resulting in a faster return on investment.
"There are lots of businesses out there that use Microsoft Office applications and think they don't have the time or money for first-class business intelligence," said Randi DiPrima, Vice President of Global Partners, Birst. "We're going to work with precisonXL to prove them wrong. Because Birst is an on-demand solution, it quickly and easily scales from individual to enterprise-wide as business needs change, and clients pay only for what they use. In this unpredictable economic climate, Birst business intelligence offers an opportunity companies can't afford to miss."
