A new version of TARGIT’s core product has been released. TARGIT BI Suite 2K7 is the next generation’s BI platform and it includes a brand new storyboard-technology that allows dynamic analyses to be shared via podcast to a wide group of users. Among the many news, TARGIT BI Suite 2K7 also introduces a new search functionality that allows users to explain why data has developed the way it is displayed in the analyses. Both the Storyboard and Intelligent Search features are unique to the business and have therefore been protected by patents.

Hjørring, June 1, 2007 – TARGIT, Denmark largest developer of business intelligence software has just launched a new version of the company’s BI-platform which today is used by almost 150.000 users world wide. TARGIT BI Suite 2K7 is groundbreaking in many ways because the solution expands the boundaries as to what is possible for BI tools as they are today.

The philosophy behind TARGIT BI Suite is that business intelligence should be available for everyone within an organization. Therefore TARGIT is now, as the first BI software provider in the world, introducing the option of working with dynamic storyboards that enable you to put together several analyses into a video or a slide show. These storyboards can be distributed not only to executive management but also to other types of employees in the company. The patent protected storyboard-technology makes it possible to push Business Intelligence out to anyone who is interested, no matter the time or the place, and via any digital platform. For instance, the company’s market share, number of complaints, or sales in different regions can be displayed to a large screen in the production hall, so all employees can follow in real time the effect of their work. Analyses can also be distributed via podcast to a PDA or a cell phone, so you always have exactly the data you need at hand. This distribution of BI data enables sharing of essential knowledge to all employees and with visualizations that are easy to interpret, the employee actions will be influenced to the better of the company. If an employee is close to reaching a sales bonus, a continuous display of sales figures can be a great incentive that benefits both the employee and the company.

Another groundbreaking element, which is also protected by a patent, is a new type of intelligent information search in TARGIT BI Suite 2K7. If an analysis for instance shows that the company is losing market share or that sales are booming in a certain market, and there is no immediate explanations, TARGIT’s new search technology can attach a list of search criteria in the software to a search on the desktop. Bad press in the US, a lawsuit in Germany, or new marketing efforts will all be affecting a company’s result, and now the connections will be even more visible. With ‘Intelligent Search’ it becomes difficult to overlook element that now – and in the long run – can affect the company’s position in the market.

”We think that such new ways of thinking BI will determine who wins market share in the highly competitive BI market. With the above mentioned efforts and the user-friendliness for which TARGIT is known, we expect to strongly impact how the next generation of BI will look,” says Morten Sandlykke, CEO and co-founder of TARGIT.
