Continuing to deliver on its mission of powerful business intelligence for the business user, Birst has added several new features that make it even easier to analyze key business information, including geographical information and cube data from Hyperion Essbase or Microsoft Analysis Services.
Launched in November, 2009, Birst 4 delivered a complete business intelligence solution with all of the major elements you needed, fully integrated — from versatile data connectivity options, advanced data transformation and loading (ETL) to fully integrated reporting and presentation capabilities. And because Birst leverages automation across its integrated solution, it’s fast to deploy, powerful, and offers the ease of having everything in one place, from one vendor.
The new Birst 4 Spring Release expands upon these strengths, delivering more analytical power and flexibility to your important business data.
Key themes of Birst 4 Spring Release: Improved Business User Self Service, Geo Analysis and the Fast Connectors to Even More Critical Business Data Sources
This upgrade of the Birst solution presents a range of new and updated features that fall into three main areas of customer value:
- BI for Everyone with improved Interactive Dashboards - Birst dashboards now contain ad-hoc reporting and analysis from within a dashboard view. These new capabilities make it even easier for business users to explore key data on their own and make critical business decisions, without ever having to leave the dashboard view.
- Birst Maps – one step further in business visualization - the power of Birst analysis visually mapped to where you do business. With Birst Maps, report designers can quickly identify hot/trouble spots by coloring regions in a geo map according to values of a Key Performance Indicator. Drill down capabilities enable business users to retrieve more detailed information from a higher level map.
- New connectors for Hyperion Essbase and Microsoft Analysis Services via XML for Analysis (XMLA) - Easily query XMLA cubes in minutes and combine that data with other existing data sources for broader and deeper analysis.
With Birst 4 Spring Release, more front line employees, department managers, and executives can enjoy the benefits of faster, smarter decision-making.
Birst 4 Spring is immediately available.
