LEADING ANALYST FIRM AFFIRMS INFLECTION POINT VISUAL BI SOLUTION’S ABILITY TO ENABLE DECISION MAKING PROCESS FOR ALL USERS ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE.
Bloor Research notes Inflection Point Visual Business Intelligence Solution as being Well Positioned to Drive User Adoption and Improve the Decision Making Process Across the Enterprise.
London, United Kingdom – August 21, 2006 – Inflection Point Systems, a leading provider of business intelligence software solutions, announced today the publication of a research report on its BI application by leading IT analyst firm, Bloor Research. Providing an overview of BI deployment and democratisation, Bloor Research has recognised that Inflection Point delivers a complete BI capability by making visually intuitive and actionable information available to decision makers to drive performance at all levels.
The report affirms that Inflection Point represents a shift away from the traditional way information is retrieved, visualised and its unique navigation engages business users to better manage performance. The report also notes that this requirement has been overlooked by traditional BI solutions. The Bloor Report, authored by analyst Philip Howard is available for download on the Inflection Point website at http://www.inflectionpoint.co.uk/home/bloor_report.557.LE.asp
Inflection Point is a robust technology solution for BI democratisation and corporate performance management. Inflection Point’s solution eliminates the complexity of BI application by recognising the different requirements of its users. Inflection Point’s intuitive interface provides the ability to deliver sophisticated data for informed decision making through advanced data visualisation and powerful, yet simple to use analysis tools for all of its users.
The report highlights Inflection Point’s advantages arising from its ease-of-use and data visualisation capabilities to deliver enhanced reporting, ad hoc query and analysis that expedites decision making and drives user adoption throughout the enterprise. “Inflection Point uniquely focuses on how different users interact with their BI software by providing an intuitive interface that meet the needs of its user. Inflection Point expands its reporting, analytical and monitoring capabilities and uses superior visualisation that allows users to better interpret information, and drive better decision making for all users to manage their company’s performance.” said Ronan Stafford, Managing Director, Inflection Point Systems.
The report acknowledges the benefits of BI democratisation to reduce the cost of ownership, improve performance and productivity, deliver sophisticated analysis and provide tighter integration within one interface. “Inflection Point has developed software that has been deliberately engi¬neered to appeal to this visual aspect of our sense,” said Philip Howard, Practice Leader at Bloor Research. ”Inflection Point does not stop there when it comes to being visually intuitive, it encompasses a number of other innovative visual techniques for engaging the user.” said Howard
The report also recognises Inflection Point for its unparalleled ease-of-use and flexibility as it unlocks the value of data warehousing for business users allowing them to view, share, reports and analyse information. “However, Inflection Point’s approach is less about sim¬ply presenting the data and more about exploring what is happening. That is, guided analysis to the core of the problem.” noted Howard. “This technique is intended to help the user find out the cause of any problems that the business may be experiencing, rather than simply report on the fact that such problems exist, which tends to be limit of conventional reporting and charting techniques” continued Howard.
“For the first time, as far as we are aware, a vendor has researched what actu¬ally appeals to people and what actually synchronises with the way that our minds work and has then built a product to make use of that fact, as opposed to merely attempting to improve an already existing text-based approach.” noted Howard.
“To this extent, Inflection Point potentially represents a paradigm shift in the way that information is retrieved and presented and it has the potential to realise the dream of democracy for business intelligence which the mainstream vendors have failed, hitherto, to deliver.” concluded Howard.
