OpenBI Launches Packaged Service Offerings to Speed Open Source Business Intelligence Adoption

Chicago, Ill. - September 19, 2006 - OpenBI, LLC, a uniquely focused open source business intelligence (OSBI) services firm, announced the availability of its OpenQuick Suite™ today. The OpenQuick Suite™ consists of four distinct solution offerings that address the growing market demand for rapid OSBI implementation. These offerings are no-risk, short-duration, fixed-price engagements providing customers immediate benefit at low cost.

Individual OpenBI Suite™ offerings include: OpenPlan™, OpenExplore™, OpenDash™, and Open Pilot™. OpenPlan™ reviews the company's current BI portfolio and crafts a "go-forward" opportunity roadmap. OpenExplore™ is a preliminary statistical and graphical examination of intelligence data that identifies key performance metrics, focusing on intuitive, visual interpretation. OpenDash™ is a complete Pentaho-based analytical dashboard application built on an existing data mart. OpenPilot™ delivers the same dashboard functionality of OpenDash™ but, in addition, designs and builds the data mart using Pentaho's Data Integration ETL software.

The OpenQuick Suite™ was developed in response to the demand for accelerated adoption of OSBI technologies. With benefits for two distinct market segments: Global 2000 "BI veterans" and SMB "Spreadsheet warriors", the OpenQuick Suite™ provides a tangible starting point for customers regardless of their level of experience with either BI or Open Source technology. "The value proposition of the OpenQuick Suite™ is providing customers a no-risk foundation for OSBI success -- delivering quickly with an obsession for knowledge transfer", states Steve Miller, Co-Founder and President of OpenBI.

"We are experiencing a positive response to our OpenQuick Suite™ of offerings", states Nick Nicholas, Vice President of Business Development. "The idea of providing a short-term engagement with tangible deliverables at an attractive price point is very compelling to the BI marketplace."
