Business Objects South Africa and ASYST Intelligence, a leading Business Objects Enterprise partner, today announced the availability of Clarity, a foundation business intelligence package. The package is formulated to assist midsized organisations in implementing a complete business intelligence initiative.
The Clarity solution is aimed at providing midsized organisations with a clear view of their data, using a complete set of front-end BI tools. From operational reporting to enterprise performance management, Clarity will provide end-users not only with the correct tools from which to view their information but also the services required to make the solution work - from implementation to full user training and support.
"Previously, managers and executives in midsize organisations have been at a significant disadvantage where business intelligence is concerned. Their business intelligence data and needs are considerable, but their business intelligence budgets are not," says Gary Broomberg, MD of Business Objects SA. "Now in collaboration with ASYST we are able to offer a `BI starter kit` with all the available formats of information with a simple, user-friendly interface at a cost that makes sense."
"Not only will these organisations receive software from the market leader in BI," continues Paul Morgan, MD of ASYST Intelligence, "but they will also be assured of first-rate implementation, training and after sales support - delivering a complete BI solution that provides a decision support system that will enable users to make key conclusions using all of the available information."
The Clarity solution will be showcased at a breakfast seminar on 20 July, please contact ASYST Intelligence on info@asyst.co.za for your invitation. For immediate availability of the Clarity solution, please contact Justine Morgan, Director, ASYST Intelligence (Pty) Ltd: telephone (011) 622 0112, fax (011) 622 0124, e-mail jmm@asyst.co.za.
