Tableau Opens Data Analysis Contest; Winner to Earn $5K in Prizes and Will Be Announced on Stage at The Economist’s Ideas Economy Conference
Competition offers people opportunity to showcase their skills in creating interactive graphs about business, finance or real estate; winner receives free trip to Las Vegas and will be featured at Economist event June 8
SEATTLE (May 19, 2011) – Today marks the opening of a new data analysis competition using Tableau Public, a free tool for creating and publishing interactive graphs on the web. The competition encourages people to create interactive data visualizations about business, finance or real estate trends and publish them in their blogs or websites. $5,000 in prizes will be awarded to the winner, along with the chance to win more. Tableau Software, the global leader in rapid-fire business intelligence, is sponsoring the contest along with support from The Economist and its Ideas Economy conference “Making Sense of the Deluge”, an event devoted to the new world of data. To enter, people should go to http://www.tableausoftware.com/biz-viz-contest.
“Telling interactive stories with data is easier and faster with Tableau,” said Christian Chabot, CEO Tableau Software. “People can rapidly build data rich interactive applications for their websites, blogs and portals without programming or special skills. By presenting this contest with The Economist, we’re giving experienced analysts and novices alike an opportunity to use Tableau to demonstrate their skills at bringing data to life.”
Current alternatives for data story-telling are inadequate. Often, data is pasted into tables, posted as files that are difficult to use or shown in static charts. Or, specially skilled programmers spend weeks building single-purpose widgets. Tableau is helping to solve this. With its interactive visualizations and dashboards, Tableau Public helps people build interactive data applications that are useful, beautiful and shareable on the web. No special plug-ins are required, all that’s needed to see and use the data is a web browser.
Contest Details
The contest is open to U.S. residents who have downloaded Tableau Public. Entrants compete by creating an interactive visualization using any business, finance or real estate data, and then submitting an application to enter the contest. The contest closes June 3rd. The winner will be announced on stage at The Economist’s Ideas Economy Conference June 8 in Santa Clara, CA.
In addition, the winner will receive a copy of Tableau Desktop, expanded Tableau Public account limits, and a conference registration to the 2011 Tableau Customer Conference in Las Vegas, with travel and hotel expenses covered for two people. The winner will also win the chance to compete with the winners of two other visualization contests at the conference in a final “Iron Viz” championship, whose winner will take away $2,000 and a new iPad2.

LogiXML Releases the First Mobile BI Technology for Design and Deployment On Any Mobile Device at the Gartner Business Intelligence Summit
Logi Mobile Lets Companies Deliver Business Critical Information to Their Mobile Workforce
LOS ANGELES (May 02, 2011) – LogiXML, the pioneer of web-based business intelligence (BI) software, today announced the release of Logi Mobile, a major new enhancement to Logi Info
“Most BI companies have built proprietary, device-specific mobile BI products and this is certainly one approach,” said Brett Jackson, CEO, LogiXML. “However, we believe that the mobile device market will become more heterogeneous and that our customers prefer a different approach. We are giving them the ability to continue to develop their BI applications within Logi Info, which is familiar to them, and extend their applications to any mobile device without the headache of deploying, managing and supporting specialized, device-specific products.”
By leveraging HTML 5, Logi Mobile allows IT to support a wide-variety of devices with less cost and complexity, while also delivering compelling mobile features
According to Gartner*, “by 2013, 33 percent of BI functionality will be consumed via handheld devices.” As the mobile workforce grows and the mobile device landscape continues to evolve, it is increasingly critical for organizations to be agile with their mobile BI applications.
“It’s important to keep in mind that Logi Mobile allows any organization to take an application that they have already invested time and resources in developing, and within minutes convert it into a mobile-ready offering,” said David Abramson, director of product management, LogiXML. “Being able to easily and securely deliver BI to end users regardless of where they are and what type of mobile device they use gives companies distinct competitive advantages.”
Boston College (BC) Libraries has already deployed two mobile applications powered by LogiXML Info.
“Our students use a wide variety of mobile devices, so having a device-neutral BI deployment is essential,” said Bob Gerrity, associate university librarian for library systems and information, BC. “Getting the application onto your mobile device quickly without having to use an app store is also a tremendous value and convenience to IT and our students.”
The first mobile application BC developed using LogiXML technology allows students to use their mobile devices to access confidential library account information, browse library catalogues, and place holds on library resources. The second BC mobile application allows librarians armed with iPads to create lists of library resources to be re-shelved or removed by volunteers.

While the business intelligence market overall grew by 13.4%, Tableau posted growth of 113.5%. Far outpacing traditional business intelligence vendors, Tableau grew more than four times as fast as the average vendor.
These findings come on the heels of Gartner’s seminal 2011 Magic Quadrant report for Business Intelligence Platforms*, which positioned Tableau as a “challenger” based on survey feedback from Tableau customers. Gartner also released detailed customer survey findings about Tableau and 27 other BI vendors, which can be used for a deeper look into what has driven Tableau’s remarkable growth. Tableau has made the full Magic Quadrant report and the supporting Gartner detailed reports available at no charge at http://www.tableausoftware.com/gartner.

“We believe being included in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is testament to the value Tableau provides. Innovative, rapid-fire business intelligence software that’s easy for both IT and end-users helps organizations be smarter, more agile and efficient,” said Christian Chabot, Tableau’s CEO and co-founder. “Our latest product release supports easy analyses of massive data sets and is fully scalable to large enterprises. It’s no surprise we’re topping our competitors’ growth by such a wide margin.”
“The efficiency of my group has gone through the roof,” said Shawn Spott, vice president and manager for RBC Wealth Management, a Tableau customer. “Because Tableau provides us with the self-service model, we’re able to continue to keep projects moving through the pipeline. The maintenance footprint is so small, we just load and go. It’s been off-the-charts successful.”
Tableau has made its mark in the business intelligence space by providing powerful, easy to use visual analytics that is unmatched across the industry. Award-winning Tableau Desktop lets people create interactive dashboards and visualizations using an easy drag-and-drop interface. Tableau Server, also an award winner, provides a complete web-based business intelligence solution for browser-based analytics anyone can learn and use.

Revolutionary Business Intelligence Solution Introduces Real Data Relevancy Through Automated Insights
Focus on Relevancy in the Consumer Marketplace is Extended for the First Time to Enterprise Applications
TORONTO (April 12, 2011) – Panorama Software, a global leader in proactive Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, introduces the concept of true relevancy of data and insights through its innovative patent-pending Necto™ BI solution. A revolutionary new way to connect data, analytic insights, and individuals across a company, Panorama Necto is the world’s first socially-enabled BI platform that provides individually tailored relevant results for every user.
Panorama Necto enables relevancy in BI by using powerful algorithms that identify noteworthy data points specific to individual user tastes. In the analytics environment, this relevancy generation is automated, providing significant efficiency gains for users who do not have the time or expertise to manually perform deep data analytics.
Greater relevancy promotes a better understanding of business goals and improved collaboration between peer groups. A company’s collection of corporate intelligence can grow exponentially with Necto as workers embrace a socially driven way of managing relevant data.
Extracting the right context from user analytics is accomplished by Panorama’s unique Automated Intelligence Driving Engine (AIDEN). Relevant data produced by AIDEN is a result of the system looking carefully at the inputs and data exploration patterns of various users and producing algorithmically-chosen insights. In one click, Necto can pinpoint issues from volumes of data and then automatically identify the causes of these issues, eliminating the need for users to understand BI modeling and technology and allowing them to focus on the business goals.
The relevancy capabilities of Necto are seamlessly integrated with the social component. Necto’s interface offers a social bar through which users can search for relevant business friends based on either personal preference or relevancy criteria. Necto builds a “social graph” for users where they can see preferences and data based upon other user’s visits and other related behavior. An “interest graph” is also created, that is based on the user’s interests and feedback that indicate areas for greater review or potential problem spots. Necto produces instant results at the intersection of these two graphs, offering incomparable insights.
“The focus on the relevancy of information is a transformative force in the consumer marketplace,” said Kobi Averbuch, VP of Research & Development at Panorama Software. “Companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Google and Amazon are all pushing for extreme relevancy in the recommendations and content that are presented to consumers. Necto marks the first time true relevancy is offered to BI in the enterprise. By automatically delivering relevant insights to the users, Necto eliminates the need of business users to understand the ‘how’ and focus on the ‘why’.”
Current Panorama NovaView BI solution users can easily migrate to the Panorama Necto platform to utilize its relevant business insights.

Panorama Necto(TM) First to Bring Social Media From the Consumer Realm Into Enterprise Business Applications
BI Revolution Marks a New Way to Interact with Data – Leveraging the Power of Many to Make Faster and Better Decisions
TORONTO (March 22, 2011) – Panorama Software, a global leader in proactive Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, announced today the availability of its newest product, Panorama Necto, the industry’s first socially-enabled BI solution.
Panorama Necto is a new way to connect data, insights, and people in the organization. It enables business knowledge sharing among different users and across corporate units based on a business-oriented social platform.
Companies increasingly focus on how to enable business users to make better real-time decisions as quickly as possible. While many solutions offer collaboration on documents, they do not provide a true knowledge sharing environment that is both tied into actual analytical data and is suggestive by nature. Panorama Necto enables social interaction for any specific report, KPI, chart, all the way to a single data cell.
Panorama Necto tracks an individual user’s interests, and intelligently suggests other networked users who are pursuing similar business goals. It also indicates who the users are that are relevant to the task at hand. As discussion between these two (or more) previously unconnected users grows, the system records and organizes their work to allow it to be retrieved in the future. The meta-data created in this process is tied to the Business Intelligence data that triggered the building of such insight, and aids workers across all levels in their decision making and planning.
Panorama Necto enables mentoring throughout the organization, with users having the ability to “subscribe” to others in order to follow the viewpoints and strategies of these selected users. Executive management that desires visibility into new business units can identify and follow the top performers to gain on-the-ground insights.
The product offers several practical applications for multiple business units. For example, improved collaboration among sales teams, including the creation of a database of business knowledge to help with sales-centric customer issues or complaints. Social BI allows executive management more advanced tools to keep them focused on core business goals, and provides insights into performance measurement and management. Ad hoc teams can use Necto to quickly form cohesive units through the sharing of multiple data sources and use of easier and more insightful collaboration tools.
“By integrating valuable social tools with our leading BI solution, we remain at the innovation forefront of our industry,” said Eynav Azarya, CEO of Panorama Software. “Necto is a huge leap forward as the first socially-enabled enterprise application. It applies the power of social media to the critical tasks of data analysis and decision making. We are bringing the social tools that are so prevalent and useful in the consumer world into a business climate. Social learning in business allows true collaboration on a different plane that is simply not possible in traditional business intelligence solutions.”
Traditional BI gives users a solution to their need to analyze information contained in multiple tools or forms. Once this issue has been solved, the real issue becomes that of knowing who are the internal and external partners with whom you can freely share information and insights, and who are your best allies in making decisions. Necto solves the next stage of information analysis by enabling true collaboration and group insight.
Current customers of Panorama’s industry-leading NovaView BI solution can easily migrate to the Panorama Necto platform to immediately begin using its social capabilities. For more information, visit www.panorama.com.

The partnership will integrate Roambi ES3 with SAS Enterprise BI Server. With this integration, decision makers can access and visually interact with critical SAS business intelligence data on any iPhone or iPad, both online and offline, providing a truly mobile experience.

With SAS and Roambi technology, decision makers in many industries can benefit.

“Our customers depend on the insight they get from SAS and are eager to have mobile access to up-to-the-minute company information. The growing numbers of tablet computers and smart phones are an ideal way to extend the power of SAS beyond the traditional office environment,” said Jim Davis, SAS Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “Roambi’s intuitive and immersive mobile experience aligns perfectly with our mission of driving innovation and empowering better decisions.”

Panorama Elevates Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse
Panorama NovaView and Microsoft’s New Platform offer Affordable Scalability for Enterprise Customers
TORONTO (November 10, 2010) – Panorama Software, a global leader in proactive Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced support of the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse through its flagship business intelligence solution, Panorama NovaView 6.2.
The solution allows Panorama NovaView users flexibility to natively connect to SQL Server 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse and perform analysis on large enterprise data sets. Previously code-named project “Madison”, Microsoft’s new platform is a scalable appliance that uses massively parallel processing to deliver low-cost performance.
SQL Server 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse supports large amounts of data. Panorama NovaView and SQL Server 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse can both be quickly scalable to meet business needs, allowing fast data increases from tens to hundreds of terabytes. The system is also less expensive than other options, as it uses industry-standard hardware, and only requires additional capacity as data volume increases.
“Customers’ data needs never slow down, they simply grow and grow every year,” said Kobi Averbuch, VP Research & Development, Panorama Software. “Continuous data growth demands true scalability that is affordable and easily integrated. Our NovaView customers can now pull more value from their business intelligence data through this integration with Microsoft SQL Server technologies and SQL Server 2008 R2 Parallel Data Warehouse.”
“Panorama Software is innovating and adding value and functionality to the Microsoft platform of products,” said Sonny Ali, Senior Platform Strategy Advisor at Microsoft. “They are providing added services for our latest data warehouse technology. Business needs require scalability to handle massive amounts of data. Panorama is able to scale up hand-in-hand with Microsoft technology without any interruption.”

(November 02, 2010) – CLOUD COMPUTING EXPO, Booth #120 — Jaspersoft, provider of the world’s most widely deployed business intelligence (BI) software, today announced it had surpassed a milestone of 100 cloud BI customer deployments, growing at close to 300% year over year. Customers include Ad Genesis, Cardsmith, eBuilder, Energysys, Fat Spaniel, QED Financials, SereneCloud, Tomax, Virgin Money Giving and Yarris. Jaspersoft’s unprecedented success bringing BI to customers in the cloud demonstrates the strength of its BI platform. It also proves its partnership model to be superior to other companies’ direct SaaS deployment models, which have not gained similar traction. Today, to expand its success and offerings around cloud BI, Jaspersoft launched two new initiatives: a cloud-focused partnership program and a free trial of its BI platform in the cloud.
“If there is one thing we have learned since engaging our first cloud customer three years ago, it’s that there is a right way and a wrong way to tackle BI in the cloud,” said Jaspersoft CEO Brian Gentile. “With over 100 customers, we believe our ‘platform and partner’ approach is proving to be the best way to deliver BI in the cloud. Other vendors have had challenges selling cloud-based BI as a platform directly to end-user customers, forcing them to switch their focus to domain-specific BI applications. Our focus has been to provide a best-in-class BI platform for the cloud and let our partner channel, including SaaS ISVs and system integrators, bring the domain expertise to the end-user customer. I’m thrilled to see Jaspersoft and its partners at the forefront in this arena.”
Mark Madsen, President and Analyst, Third Nature – “Jaspersoft’s partnership approach to cloud BI sets them up to incorporate new technologies at any time and gives them the flexibility to change as consumers’ cloud BI needs change. Though cloud computing is still in its early stages, Jaspersoft’s strategy puts them in a good position to adapt moving forward.”
Jeremy Walters, Head of System Development at Virgin Money Giving – “Multi-tenancy is not a standard feature for cloud BI deployments and to see Jaspersoft offering multi-tenant access at this stage reaffirms their position as a leading BI provider that is well-equipped to tackle new challenges posed by the cloud.”
Jaspersoft’s “Cloud Platform and Partner” Program
Jaspersoft was one of the first BI providers to address BI in the cloud over three years ago, and later partnered with RightScale, the leading cloud management provider, and Full 360, a leading business intelligence and cloud consulting firm. The joint success resulted in Jaspersoft winning the prestigious SIIA 2010 CODiE award for “Best Cloud Infrastructure Platform”. Jaspersoft’s BI platform is based on a modern, flexible, standards-based architecture that is built from the ground up to support multiple deployment options. Jaspersoft’s rich web APIs and true multi-tenancy capabilities make it easy for partners to integrate in order to quickly deliver BI-enabled cloud applications to their customers.
Today, to meet growing demand for cloud BI, Jaspersoft is introducing a newly expanded partner program for ISVs and global SIs who want to leverage the Jaspersoft BI platform in the cloud for faster, more affordable reporting, analysis, and dashboarding. Partners joining this program can benefit from Jaspersoft’s Cloud BI experience as well joint sales and marketing activities focused on this area.
Josh Fraser, Vice President of Business Development at RightScale: “We are committed to partnering with leading technology vendors such as Jaspersoft to deliver complete solutions in the cloud. Today, we are seeing strong customer interest in sophisticated BI, backed by the low-cost, on-demand resources of the cloud. We are pleased to continue our successful partnership with Jaspersoft to address this market need with a proven BI solution.”
Larry Hill, Director of Business Development at Full360: “When it comes to cloud computing, there is truly no all-in-one solution; it’s about integrating the best-of-breed. With Jaspersoft, we’ve done just that. They have a defined market presence and a proven solution for cloud-based BI. We’re excited to be teaming up with them to meet the needs of our customers.”
