Below is the transcript of a Webinar hosted by InetSoft on the topic of New Features in Version 11 of InetSoft's Style Intelligence BI Software. The presenters are Mark Flaherty, CMO at InetSoft, and Byron Igoe, Product Manager at InetSoft.
Mark Flaherty (MF): Thanks again for joining us today. We are going to spend a few minutes with some slides on the background of InetSoft and our business intelligence software. Everyone is going to have a good overview, even if this is the first time you’re seeing our software.
Then we will jump into the demonstration portion of the Webinar. We’ll focus on what's new in this new version of our BI software that just came out this past month. And then I will give you a little bit of an overview of the application for those participants who have not seen the software yet.
So with that, let me give you some background on the company. InetSoft has been around for some time. It started 15 years ago, and the company has grown steadily over time, and now we are up to over 120 employees in couple of locations around the world. And our customer base is quite diverse.
We offer software to enterprises, who want to provide a BI solution for their end-users right out of the box and also offer software for OEM and solution providers, SaaS providers or ASPs and you can see a few of the logos of some of our customers and partners here.
So next, I wanted to give some background on our philosophy on how we develop our BI software and what we are aiming to achieve. And it's a lot having to do with trying to overcome all the challenges that existed with some of the older BI Solutions, ones that you may know of and have experience with, ones that traditionally have been complex and inflexible, ones that have taken months, if not, over a year to be deployed. And during that long of a timeframe, people have often found that their requirements have changed, by the time the solution has been deployed. Then they have had to go back to the beginning of the complex requirements process to update the infrastructure.
Also, some solutions out there have been built by acquisition and led to a fragmented user experience and you do not really know what application you need to be using at a given time. Also the original BI solutions aren’t known for offering high levels of self-service, and that is something we really aim to overcome. And I mentioned it before, but being able to adapt to changes, being able to add new data sources or even let end-users add their own data sources, that hasn’t been a hallmark of the original BI solutions. Neither has been giving the ability for a self-service kind of exploration of the data, something that’s a key feature for our software.
