Use Case Shows True Power of Embedded Business Intelligence

MCLEAN, Va. (November 15, 2011) – LogiXML, the pioneer of web-based business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that Logistic Specialties, Inc. (LSI), a leading provider of business development consulting and logistical support services, drastically improved its operational efficiencies, built multiple BI applications in record time, and increased its bottom line—all using Logi Info, http://pages.logixml.com/Info-Video.html.

LSI serves government agencies and commercial entities by specializing in managing and fulfilling procurement bids and commercial contracts. The success of their business is dependent on their ability to respond quickly to and win RFPs. Prior to working with LogiXML, most of LSI’s inefficiencies were rooted in a manual RFP response system, which included maintaining a huge Microsoft Excel database with years of historical records that was rife with inaccuracies.

Using Logi Info, LSI built a commodities tracking system to support their RFP process with only one database developer. Additionally, LSI used Logi Info to develop a set of business-support tools, including a helpdesk system, research request system, mass mailing tool, purchase request system, analysis data cubes, and time and activity tracking—all in 40 percent less time than with conventional development methods. What’s more, Logi Info’s agility enables LSI to support these systems with a staff half the size of their competitors’.  By improving organizational processes, LSI has been able to win more than 50 percent of contracts that they bid on, and 60 percent of the dollars within their target market.

“We evaluated several vendors, including traditional BI products and supply chain management solutions and found various shortcomings, including pricing models that charged a percentage of our profits, a lack of vital functionality, and required implementation assistance from costly consultants,” said Mark de Amici, CTO, LSI. “We chose Logi Info because it is fast to implement, easy to modify and maintain, flexible enough to enable workflow between multiple teams and systems, and is highly reliable.”

When LSI started the BI procurement process, they initially wanted middleware to talk to multiple databases. Logi Info has evolved beyond that; Logi Info’s database neutrality enabled LSI to link to databases they were previously unable to, gathering information from multiple places and integrating them. As LSI and their data grows, the company now has a solution in place that will allow them to track and scale various operational components of their business, including project management, RFP management, risk management and financial analysis.

“More and more companies are recognizing that they need their BI software to be able to do more and change directions in order to stay competitive,” said Brett Jackson, CEO, LogiXML. “LSI has built impressive BI applications in a remarkably short amount of time using our solutions which have given them an edge in the marketplace. They are an example of what can be accomplished with agile BI software.”

Logi Info is the fastest way for developers and IT to create and deliver BI applications to any desktop or mobile device. Creating sophisticated applications with Logi Info takes only a fraction of the time of required by traditional BI solutions. Logi Info does this by providing a code-free development environment that dramatically reduces the effort and cost of creating and maintaining BI applications.

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.
