EM&I BI director Michael Slyuzberg says that, "A successful Business Intelligence implementation is based upon the belief that business intelligence and data management technology should be available to each user at his or her own level. We were looking for a software solution that met the needs of all business decision-makers, not only highly skilled analysts. We found that TARGIT software solution meets these requirements, as well as offering low total cost of ownership and short implementation time".
