- Birst scales to the terabyte level and is in use at some of the largest companies in the United States, so yes, you can load far more than 100k in data.

- Birst won The Data Warehousing Institute’s Best Practices Award for Dashboards and Scorecards for its implementation at RBC Wealth Management. Winners have to be deployed for over a year and demonstrate real business value. This is a highly complex implementation that was done in just a couple of months and continues to deliver real value.

- Birst won the 2010 Red Herring Global 100 award for being one of the top 100 private technology companies int he world.

- In the Birst 4 upgrade of Fall 2009, Birst launched “Live Access” which allows you to leave your data on-premise in your data warehouse and query it in Birst on-demand. So it refreshes your Birst dashboards and reports as quickly as your data is refreshed in the underlying data warehouse.

- Birst has updated its pricing model – Birst pricing gives significant discounts for large application data volumes.
