SwiftKnowledge, LLC, a global provider of web-based business intelligence (BI) software, recently announced SwiftKnowledge for ISVs, an embedded BI technology which can be deployed either in a cloud computing environment or as an appliance.

With SwiftKnowledge, independent software vendors (ISVs) gain a significant and tangible advantage over their competitors by easily embedding robust reporting and analytics, predictive modeling, data mining, and trend analysis capabilities into their solutions. SwiftKnowledge enables ISVs to extend to their customers secure, unified access to information located in multiple data sources – via flexible BI technology featuring user-friendly executive dashboards – so they may proactively and more effectively manage critical business data.

The 100 percent web-based SwiftKnowledge technology deploys quickly – integrating with all content repositories to give companies a complete, intuitive view of critical business information – and is specifically designed for interactive, high-volume use by non-technical business users. With SwiftKnowledge, these business users are empowered to configure custom analytical views, threshold-driven alerts, and visually appealing dashboards that simplify their unique reporting and analysis needs – all without requiring IT or developer assistance. Additionally, SwiftKnowledge’s advanced predictive modeling and data mining capabilities allow for delivery of higher-value applications to a broader user base.

“The market opportunity for intuitive BI technology such as that offered by SwiftKnowledge is immense,” said Robert Olson, Chief Executive Officer for SwiftKnowledge. “According to a Forrester Research survey, as reported by ComputerworldUK, 75 percent of respondents said most reports and dashboards are still created by the IT department; two-thirds said their end users felt the BI tools were somewhat or very difficult to learn; and more than half of IT managers said their end users often reverted back to individual tools, such as desktop spreadsheets, to get data or reports they couldn't get through the BI applications. This haphazard work-around clearly is not an appropriate approach for any data analysis, and it certainly doesn’t put critical BI tools into the hands of the people who most need them – the business users. Through our patented technology, SwiftKnowledge offers distinct advantages – including rapid deployment, ease of use by non-technical business users, a standards-based architecture and salient business benefits – to ISVs and their customers.”
