Darcy and Shawn, thanks for the kind words!
Many VARs find BI interesting, but just consider it a nice-to-have feature with a steep learning curve. Those concerns are at the heart of why we built DataSelf Lite.
We sifted through our 15 year experience, and identified and built into Lite a small number of very impactful business insights. We believe that many organizations will view them as must-have reports and dashboards.
We also re-wrote our ETL and data warehouse to make them transparent. That's right, consultants don't need to learn anything about data warehousing. Deploying and maintaining Lite will require little training. The VAR webinar this coming week includes 30 minutes of training around use cases.
Finally, we're rolling out an NFR framework where resellers can easily demo Lite with the client's data.
Most importantly, we look forward to your input. We believe the success of Lite greatly depends on making you successful by providing services around impactful business insights to your clients.
Cheers!
Joni
