In the transactional systems markets - both line of business and traditional back and front-office applications - prospects and customers are increasingly evaluating transactional system offerings on the basis of their associated BI capability, and increasingly making purchase or repurchase or renewal decisions based on that BI capability.
Beyond the intense competitive dynamic, good business intelligence capability can be a significant source of incremental revenue for transactional system vendors - from both installed base customers and new-name accounts - but it is notoriously hard for transactional system vendors to build and field high-quality business intelligence modules for their systems.
At first glance, this is counter-intuitive. After all, independent software vendors (ISVs) are in the best possible position to build good business intelligence modules for their own systems. They understand both the analytical requirements of their customers, and the available data -- traditionally the two most difficult hurdles to building good business intelligence and analytics. And this is indeed where ISVs that report success in their BI initiatives focus: on their data, and the analytics their customers require.
But ISVs that fail to field successful BI offerings typically focus elsewhere -- on the peculiar difficulties of building BI infrastructure, on replicating the functionality of commercial BI toolsets, and on becoming - or trying to become - data warehousing experts.
At WhereScape, we believe in taking the time, cost and risk out of our ISVs’ business intelligence offerings. We know all about building, deploying and enhancing data warehouses and business intelligence solutions - hundreds of companies, and thousands of users, use WhereScape-designed and WhereScape-managed business intelligence environments every day. We know how to package BI modules for simple deployment, customization and use - we do it routinely, as part of our international software business. And we know how to integrate data warehouses and data marts into customers’ existing BI and OLTP environments -- it’s our business.
Partnering with WhereScape to build BI offerings allows an ISV to focus where the ISV can add unique and monetizable value: on the ISV’s data and the analytics associated with those data sets. WhereScape provides its ISVs not only with a complete, end-to-end data warehouse lifecycle management environment - the best available in the industry - but also with the expertise required to turn the ISV’s understanding of its data and its customers into competitive, highly-functional BI offerings quickly, and with minimal risk.
Vendor-specific BI solutions powered by WhereScape are deployed today in the premises software and SaaS markets, in the offering portfolios of large and small ISVs, and in traditional back-office OLTP as well as line-of-business transactional applications.
Our OEM customers choose to work with WhereScape not just because we have the best data warehouse life cycle management product designed for OEM embedding and resale, but because WhereScape’s talented technical and business development personnel work with our OEM customers on all aspects of business intelligence product design, development and go-to-market.
When you decide to power your BI solution with WhereScape, you get:
• private-label world-class data warehousing infrastructure that supports the major merchant DBMSs (IBM InfoSphere, Oracle, SQL Server, and Teradata), automates the process of data warehouse and mart creation, update and management, and operates effectively in SME/SMB as well as enterprise-class BI environments
• licensing models tuned to fit your go-to-market strategy and your BI offering price points, with generous revenue sharing arrangements and opportunities to participate in post-sales service revenue streams.
• WhereScape BI designers to work, as part of your BI development team, to bring your first BI offerings to market in a matter of weeks, and who help your development teams leverage WhereScape’s industry-leading integrated development environment so that you bring more, and more valuable, BI modules to market sooner.
• Consultative assistance from WhereScape business development teams on every aspect of your BI go-to-market strategy, from product line design and pricing through collateralization and demand creation to sales and channel training programs.
Other BI software vendors charge ISVs back-breaking licensing fees and leave the hard work of fielding effective business intelligence to you. WhereScape gets intimately involved in making your BI initiatives succeed, and participates in that success.

Business software is designed to capture transactions. Problem is, you almost need a jailbreak to get it out again. And today's "market leaders" in business intelligence say they hold the key, but instead they hope to take 6-18 months to tunnel in. It's expensive, cumbersome and uncoordinated with the system provider.
Business Impact designs, develops and delivers turnkey reporting and analysis solutions, freeing the data for everyday users to actually use. And we do it one system at a time.
At Business Impact, we focus on individual business software and coordinate the full solution with that software provider. This is a superior methodology compared to the tunneling/jailbreak methods of the competition.
