Zap Business Intelligence 2010 Launched
Easy, fast BI solution for the SQL Server platform
BRISBANE, Australia (September 14, 2010) – Zap today announced the launch of Zap Business Intelligence 2010, a new software solution that makes business intelligence (BI) more user-friendly and less reliant on technical experts.
“We heard clearly from the market that BI was too complex and technical to implement effectively, or even consider in the first place,” said Zap President, Garth D. Laird. “We went back to the drawing board to completely redesign our BI solutions to overcome this barrier, while also taking advantage of the latest architecture and deployment options such as cloud computing.”
Based on the Microsoft SQL Server® platform, Zap Business Intelligence 2010 is web-based and provides capabilities such as dashboards, key performance indicators (KPIs), scorecards, reports, analysis, alerts, report scheduling, and optional predictive analytics. A unique feature is the ability to easily share and re-use analytics between business units, geographies, companies, or even across different deployments.
Zap Business Intelligence 2010 meets the needs of enterprise and mid-market customers using many different business systems, and is available in Europe, Middle East, Africa, North America, and Asia-Pacific.
For customers with SQL Server® data sources or Microsoft Dynamics® data sources, Zap CubeXpress fast tracks cube creation and maintenance to enable rapid deployment with minimal technical resources. Microsoft Dynamics CRM, NAV and now AX customers can take advantage of this tool, and are also provided with out-of-the-box BI content to speed up implementation. Microsoft customers have the added advantage of integrating Zap Business Intelligence with their existing technology, such as Dynamics, SharePoint, Outlook, and Excel.
Comments from customers already seeing the benefit of Zap Business Intelligence 2010:
“Zap’s 2010 solution has a user friendly interface, and it’s easy to create and modify reports,” said Kristoffer Gustafson, LK Group IT Manager, Sweden. “We wanted fast access to performance figures, so a speedy implementation was important. A solution that could be used in our businesses across the world, including Asia, was also a consideration.”
“Zap Business Intelligence 2010 has changed the way we use our corporate information,” said Curt Wilson, Management Accountant, Angus Knight, Australia. “Across the company, our branches and departments are now kept instantly up-to-date and can be much more proactive about managing performance. We have freed staff from the burden of manual reporting, and can now focus on understanding insights, setting goals, and actually improving the business.”
