InetSoft to Speak About Data Mashups to the Minnesota Chapter of the Data Management Association

InetSoft Technology

Woodbury, MN — December 15, 2008

InetSoft Technology, an innovator in dashboard, reporting and analysis solutions, today announced an upcoming presentation to the Minnesota Chapter of the Data Management Association (DAMA-MN). Byron Igoe, Product Manager at InetSoft, will discuss the meaning and origins of data mashups and explain the difference in process between traditional data integration approaches and data mashup. The event will take place on Wednesday December 17 hosted at Fidelity Information Services in Woodbury, MN from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and is a free benefit to current members of DAMA-MN.

Data mashup refers to the combination of data that was not originally intended to be combined. In the business intelligence field, it has been recognized that enterprise knowledge workers and managers have a need to flexibly incorporate ad hoc or sanctioned data sources in such a data mashup, as doing so can increase the value derived from corporate information systems. However, there are issues of efficiency and dependability that must be addressed.

In this presentation Byron will point out how drawbacks of traditional business intelligence software have prevented this capability and have led to subversive behavior: business users taking their data and analysis into office applications like Microsoft Excel — which has led to the problem of spreadmarts. Details will include: in-memory data federation; the impact on pre-aggregation; and combining formal and informal data sources.

“DAMA is dedicated to promoting the understanding, development and practice of managing information and data as a key enterprise asset,” states Andrea Thomsen, Education Officer at DAMA-MN. “This presentation is an example of the type of educational opportunities we provide to our local chapter members each month. At our chapter meetings members can exchange problems, ideas, and experiences related to information and data resource practices.” Information management professionals from enterprises or academic institutions in Minnesota who are interested in learning more about membership are invited to visit http://www.dama-mn.org. DAMA-MN is part of DAMA International, a not-for-profit, vendor independent association with chapters and members throughout the world.

“We expect this business intelligence topic of data mashup to be an interesting one for DAMA-MN members,” notes Mark Flaherty, Vice President of Marketing. “We are interested to hear how business intelligence managers are addressing the information management demands and issues associated with data mashup — even if they have not applied this term ‘data mashup’ to it, yet. We believe we have an interesting, unique solution of end-user defined data mashup that maximizes self-service and minimizes the effort and overhead for IT organizations supporting business intelligence solutions, and this is a great opportunity to discuss the issues with a very interested audience.”

InetSoft has been delivering award-winning software for 8 years running, offering easy, agile, and robust BI solutions that make it possible for enterprises of all sizes to deploy a fully-featured business intelligence solution that is very quick to deploy and easy for end-users to adopt. Highlights of the software include visually-compelling and interactive dashboards and pixel-perfect report generation, scheduling, and bursting. InetSoft’s patent pending Data Block™ technology enables direct access to any open standards source, which means a data warehouse is not necessarily required, and any data manipulations can be shared and re-used with a simple drag-and-drop design tool.

InetSoft’s New Release Democratizes Business Intelligence

InetSoft Technology

Piscataway, NJ — January 5, 2009

InetSoft Technology, an innovator in dashboard, reporting and analysis solutions, today announced the launch of Style Intelligence 10.0. This major release features several advances in visualization capabilities. First, users can now make charts and graphs more information-rich, going from the standard two dimensions to four or more using coloring, sizing and stacked X/Y options. Secondly, users can enjoy brushing techniques where by selecting data points in one chart highlights related data points in accompanying charts.

For average business users, these new visualization features mean they can enjoy even more powerful, visually attractive interactive dashboards that deliver as much intelligence in one screen as traditional dashboards or reports would have delivered in dozens or hundreds of screens. An example of such an interactive dashboard might be for a sales manager looking at her pipeline who wants to identify the key opportunities on which to focus her assistance. In a single chart she can see all open deals plotted by win probability on one axis and projected close date on the other. For third and fourth dimensions, the data points representing each deal can be sized by dollar amount and color coded by account executive. Accompanying this chart can be simple drop-down lists and selection lists that expand the permutations of possible analyses exponentially. Other variables could be simply swapped in such as to color code, instead by product, or the data could be filtered to show opportunities in a certain sales region. While the possible analyses are many, the speed of finding answers is increased because of the simple point-and-click interface and information-rich graphical charting methods.

For business analysts or IT staff who support enterprise reporting and business intelligence functions, the new visualization capabilities come via an easy-to-use drag and drop tool that makes it possible to create such an interactive dashboard in minutes. Installing and deploying the Style Intelligence business intelligence platform is also designed to be easy. The average IT person with knowledge of enterprises databases can install the small-footprint, Java-based server application in any environment and configure it to access almost any open standards based data source directly; no data warehouse or ETL process is necessarily required. Assembling data elements from disparate data sources, including imported ones, in order to make data mashups, is supported with a level of self-service unique to Style intelligence. In addition to a high-performance, highly flexible, yet secure data access engine, the application includes very powerful publishing tools for creating pixel-perfect production reports with robust scheduling, bursting, and archiving capabilities.

“While these visualization capabilities are not novel in business intelligence software, InetSoft’s approach to delivering them is,” states Mark Flaherty, Vice President of Marketing at InetSoft. “Others have pointed to visualization as the necessary catalyst to expand business intelligence to the masses, but we have realized that it’s a two-step process. First, you need to empower the business or data analyst with easy-to-use tools and let them think through what kind of interactive dashboard the business users will gain insight from. And these analytical dashboards need to be designed well enough that they can almost be self-explanatory in how to use. Then, once the analyst shares these interactive dashboards with the business users, they can begin using them with little or no training because of their easy point and click interfaces which rely on easy to understand drop-down and selection lists.”

InetSoft has been delivering award-winning software for 8 years running, offering easy, agile, and robust BI solutions that make it possible for enterprises of all sizes to deploy a fully-featured business intelligence solution that is very quick to deploy and easy for end-users to adopt. Highlights of the software include visually-compelling and interactive dashboards and pixel-perfect report generation, scheduling, and bursting. InetSoft’s patent pending Data Block™ technology enables direct access to any open standards source, which means a data warehouse is not necessarily required, and any data manipulations can be shared and re-used with a simple drag-and-drop design tool.

Bluenog Named to InformationWeek Startup 50: Integrated Content Management, Portal and Business Intelligence Software Company Recognized for Shaking up the IT Industry

Piscataway, NJ — April 27, 2009

Bluenog, an enterprise software and solutions company, announced that InformationWeek has named Bluenog to its first ever Startup 50 ranking.

It recognizes Bluenog for the innovation, value and enterprise-readiness of Bluenog ICE, an award-winning commercial product built on open source CMS, open source portal and open source BI projects.

Companies named to the prestigious list were required to undergo a three-step voting process that included nomination, online voting and editorial vetting.

InformationWeek created the short list to provide IT stakeholders with an analysis of leading-edge companies that represent innovation and the ability to help solve critical IT problems, cut costs, and improve operations.

“It was difficult to limit ourselves to 50 startups because there are a lot of exciting companies out there. That said, we believe the Startup 50 have innovative solutions to critical business problems and are worthy of enterprise consideration,” said Andrew Conry-Murray, business editor, InformationWeek.

“We’ve worked hard to make Bluenog ICE a breakthrough product for all types of organizations to build Enterprise 2.0 applications with the scalability, reliability, availability and extensibility necessary for today’s collaborative enterprise,” said Suresh Kuppusamy, Bluenog CEO. “It’s especially gratifying that the editorial community and enterprises are seeing the value of our integrated solution.”

InsFocus Systems Earns Microsoft Gold Certification

— October 8, 2009

Petach-Tikva, Israel Uri Taiber, founder and CEO of InsFocus Systems, Ltd., leading developer of business intelligence software for the insurance industry, today announced that Microsoft has upgraded the company to Gold Certified Partner status.

Awarded to only best-of-the-best solutions providers, Microsoft’s Gold Certified Partner program recognizes those companies which have met the software giant’s most stringent training and competency requirements and demonstrated the kind of expertise, strategic thinking, and skill sets that position them as first-choice technology resources in the world marketplace.

InsFocus Systems’ Gold Certified Partner status replaces its previous Certified Partner designation, a much sought-after affiliation in its own right. According to Hanan Taiber, CTO and R&D Manager of InsFocus Systems, one of the requirements to earn Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status was that InsFocus subject its flagship product to rigorous testing by Microsoft partners.

“From Day One, we’ve focused on making InsFocus BI a rock-solid and feature-rich business intelligence platform for analyzing and reporting insurance business data,” Hanan says. “Microsoft’s partner testing confirms that we’ve succeeded in delivering a superior insurance BI solution.”

In addition to meeting software testing requirements, Gold Certified Partners must also demonstrate proficiency in at least one Microsoft Competency. InsFocus Systems, as a developer and marketer of packaged software solutions, merited the Independent Software Vendor (ISV)/Software Solutions competency.

“The ISV/Software Solutions competency is validated, in part, by a required number of project-specific client references,” Hanan says. “With our latest reference from Malta’s Middlesea Insurance, we’ve passed that threshold and proven ourselves and our products to be of consistently high value to the insurance industry.”

That value, according to Hanan, comes not only from first class support and innovative technologies aimed squarely at the insurance industry’s unique needs, but from an insurance BI system that combines ease-of-use, simple maintenance, and elegant design with raw data warehousing and analysis power. An intuitive system that allows non-technical insurance professionals to focus on the insurance business, instead of software issues, InsFocus BI is a comprehensive business intelligence solution that facilitates better, more profitable decisions no matter what the insurance business domain – whether marketing, underwriting, claims, reinsurance, actuarial, or accounting. As InsFocus Systems’ Uri Taiber puts it, “InsFocus BI is all about eliminating the barriers between insurance professionals and the information they need to make the insurance business a better business for everyone concerned.”

InsFocus Systems Expands Open Connectivity in Latest Version of Leading Insurance Business Intelligence Software

InsFocus Systems

— February 17, 2010

InsFocus Systems has just released version 1.91 of its category-leading InsFocus BI insurance business intelligence solution, an update that broadens connectivity to third-party systems and software through REST-based open design architecture.

While InsFocus BI is already at work in insurance companies worldwide, the 1.91 update’s emphasis on RESTful services will provide its data analysis and warehousing capabilities to a larger group of insurance professionals. Apart from being even easier to use than previous versions, InsFocus BI 1.91’s new REST-enabled data connectors cement its place as a centerpiece of open connectivity, collaboration, and decision-making power in an increasingly diverse insurance industry software ecosystem.

RESTful services, in which all communication is based on simple HTTP, have become the de facto standard for Internet services in recent years, as well as having gained considerable traction in enterprise settings. Offering communication via standard protocols, including XML, JSON, and HTML, links between InsFocus BI and third-party resources can be tested from any common Web browser, dramatically cutting intranet service development time.

Speaking of InsFocus BI’s new REST-based connectors, Hanan Taiber, CTO and R&D Manager of InsFocus Systems, says that “users can now ‘link’ to a query, meaning they can combine the results of any query in a Web browser, Excel spreadsheet, or in any other third-party application that leverages simple Web services.” Hanan also notes that users can choose whether to link to an ad-hoc query or to a library of existing reports.

Also new to InsFocus BI 1.91 is a report scheduler that allows authorized users to define when a given ad-hoc query or library report should be automatically run, whether monthly, weekly, or even several times per day. In addition, report results can be formatted as rich HTML or as text-based SMS messages for anywhere, anytime review.

“With InsFocus BI’s open and flexible architecture,” Hanan says, “companies can now easily automate historically resource-intensive functions, such as combining fixed and limited reports with current InsFocus BI data to create new and powerful ways to analyze data and drive profits.”

With every release, InsFocus BI offers greater value to insurance professionals. The 1.91 version continues that tradition, delivering an open framework that goes beyond standard reporting and analysis to support a wider array of functions, such as creating regulatory reports, integrating updated information into Excel spreadsheets used by analysts and actuaries, and automatically providing reports and SMS updates to company executives and agents.

“We are very excited about this new version,” says Uri Taiber, CEO of InsFocus Systems. “The system is now so open that it can easily serve as the base for integrating a wide range of formerly closed off business processes. With InsFocus 1.91, the promise of SOA – and higher ROI – is available to a greater number of insurance professionals than ever before.”

Healthcare Technology Provider to Embed InetSoft’s Visual Reporting Tool

InetSoft Technology

Piscataway, NJ — March 1, 2010

InetSoft Technology, an innovator in dashboard, reporting and mashup solutions, today announced True North Consulting & Associates Inc. (TNC), a provider of healthcare technology solutions, has selected InetSoft’s dashboard reporting software, Style Scope, to power the user configurable report solution in its SaaS-based diagnostic imaging operations application, Clearica3.

Clearica3‘s utilization software automatically collects and integrates real-time disparate data from various hospital systems to create a unified monitoring system, providing valuable up-to-the-minute insight into diagnostic imaging (DI) operations. With the availability of real-time key performance indicators for each DI modality device accompanied by a suite of institution-specific reports, Clearica3 users are better able to identify and address operational performance issues. In addition, consolidation of accurate information permits well informed, evidence-based decisions about workflow and process changes that can increase department productivity. An added benefit is that senior hospital administrators are able to compare their own DI operational benchmarks with other hospitals through the inter-hospital benchmarking function.

“There were a host of reasons for selecting InetSoft’s reporting functionality, commented Thomas Hough, President of TNC. “From a functionally standpoint powerful data mashup capabilities were a pre-requisite given the unification of disparate data sources that our application performs. Beyond other technical reasons including the platform being Java-based and permitting rapid integration, InetSoft’s reporting solution stood out from others we evaluated in the area of ease-of-use.

generationE to Embed InetSoft’s Dashboard Reporting Software in IT Operations Automation Application

InetSoft Technology

Piscataway, NJ — March 22, 2010

InetSoft Technology, an innovator in dashboard, reporting and mashup solutions, today announced generationE, a provider of IT operations solutions, has selected InetSoft’s dashboard reporting software, Style Scope, to provide the dashboard and visualization layer for generationE TECHNOLOGIES’s IT operations automation application, Resolve Runbook Automation (RBA).

Resolve RBA is an innovative wiki-based runbook automation system that helps capture and automate best practices for IT operations. Out-of-the-box, the application can automate as much as 85% of an organization’s IT operations processes, with the remainder supported by customization capabilities. The application’s business benefits are improved operating expense efficiencies due to reductions in time spent by expensive subject matter experts manually performing routine IT administration or troubleshooting tasks, and from lower training time for new IT operations staff.

InetSoft’s dashboard reporting software will add a new visualization layer to the application for monitoring the recent and historical performance of automated processes, saving users the effort of charting and analyzing log data in external reporting systems. Style Scope’s built-in drill-through functions will permit users to click directly from an alert displayed on a monitoring dashboard into Resolve’s root cause analysis function, which will speed up resolution times and increase system uptime. A valuable, new executive dashboard will keep track of the times newly automated processes have run, and based on manpower cost savings, generate a running return on investment (ROI) for the Resolve RBA application.

“Resolve is the answer to controlling spiraling business operating costs resulting from managing technology infrastructure, and adding InetSoft’s polished, Flash-based dashboard visualization technology will be a welcome addition for both the operations users of Resolve as well as for the managers who made the investment decision to acquire it,” commented Christian Mack, EVP, General Manager at generationE TECHNOLOGIES. “Other aspects that made InetSoft stand out from the many options we evaluated were the ease of integration with our application and the level of support their team offered early in the proof-of-concept stage.”

InetSoft’s Style Scope is an easy-to-use interactive dashboard software application that includes real time reporting capabilities. The application is 100% Java at the server level, and HTML, JavaScript, and Flash at the client level. That, combined with its SOA architecture and open standards-based technology, makes for an ideal embedding and integration-ready application for dashboards and reporting. End-users get visually compelling, highly interactive access to data, while solution providers get a highly customizable, easy to learn and quick to deploy business intelligence toolset and information delivery platform.
