Powerful Partnerships Persevere in Big Data
July 23, 2013
Powerful partnerships in the analytic world are quickly becoming a daily happening. However, it’s rare that two major names in the industry link arms to build something for customers. However, that is just what happened recently, according to an InetSoft article, “InetSoft Adds SaaS BI for Quickbooks Users, Advanced Reporting and Analytics Through InetSoft’s Style Intelligence.”
According to the story:
“The Bison System is a specialized, hosted business intelligence tool with the best data connector available for millions of QuickBooks customers. The Bison System extracts customer QuickBooks data, securely transfers it to the Bison Servers, and then immediately processes it into the customer’s database. Within moments, the data is available for dashboards and customized reporting for QuickBooks business stakeholders.”
This blockbuster pairing of InetSoft and Quickbooks felt familiar. It reminded us of a recent Forbes article about Oracle’s similar pairings, which said: “three strategic partnership announcements this week, some of which have surprised even seasoned enterprise software industry observers and analysts.” That’s why companies like these two examples are on top. They are finding bold ways to partner and give clients analytic tools that are going well beyond standard big data.
