XP3® BI Presenter Extends Microsoft Analysis Services throughout the Enterprise
New York, NY – June 2, 2009 – Interactive Edge LLC, a leading provider of data analysis and visualization solutions, today announced the debut of XP3 BI Presenter, a Microsoft Office add-in which brings Microsoft Analysis Services data directly into Microsoft PowerPoint, enabling users to quickly create high-impact, dynamic presentations utilizing existing Analysis Services cubes.
“BI Presenter eliminates the need for time-consuming, error-prone cut and paste activities associated with moving from Excel to PowerPoint. With more than 30 million PowerPoint presentations delivered each day, PowerPoint is hands down the premiere presentation software.” said Zel Bianco, President and CEO of Interactive Edge. “Analysis Services supports OLAP by letting you create and manage multidimensional structures that contain data aggregated from multiple data sources. XP3 BI Presenter seamlessly connects PowerPoint to any Analysis Services cube – the combination of the two delivers on the promise of delivering BI to the masses.”
Converting Data into Revenue
Powerful enterprise solutions have made huge amounts of data available for strategic business units to access, mine and analyze. This proliferation of data and mining/analysis tools can be a windfall of opportunities to drive profitability throughout the organization. XP3 BI Presenter uses a certified ADOMD connection to tap directly into Microsoft Analysis Services cubes making vast amounts of data readily available to distributed sales and management teams in familiar Microsoft® Office applications they use every day.
XP3’s powerful data analysis engine and flexible end-user tools summarize and visualize the right data for the right audience. Integrated with Microsoft Office, XP3 tools easily create visually stunning, data-driven presentations directly in Microsoft® PowerPoint®. The results include concise and actionable presentations, complete with intelligent summaries, charts and graphs that can be understood by business users of all kinds. The Gartner Group refers to this as XP3’s Point of Impact, because this is where and how a corporation’s investment in data and technology converts into revenue.
Thousands of sales and marketing professionals from the most successful manufacturers of consumer goods currently use XP3 to automatically develop and populate data-driven sales and management presentations against data sets as large as hundreds of gigabytes, with hundreds of thousands of members in certain dimensions.
