“We’ve continued to work tirelessly to make the benefits of enterprise quality reporting and analytics accessible to users of all business backgrounds, regardless of technical skill,” said Rabie.

“Our customers and the BI market are demanding more consumer-oriented BI technology that enables faster and easier collective decisions-making – anywhere and anytime. It’s about putting the power of BI in the hands of as many people as possible, and empowering them to extract and apply the insights learned as effortlessly as possible.
